While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson’s is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.</p> Tue, 23 Jan 2024 14:26:38 +0000 webfull 196813 at /channels /channels/channels/event/amr-centre-seminar-social-dr-gautam-dantas-354441 Thu, 18 Jan 2024 22:06:45 +0000 webfull 196646 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mapping-genetic-history-french-canadians-through-space-and-time-348442 <p>Though we all share common ancestors ranging from a few generations to hundreds of thousands of years, genealogies that relate all of us are often forgotten over time.
