Parkinson's disease cases are projected to double globally by 2050, reaching 25 million individuals, according to a recent modeling study published in BMJ. Population aging (increasing median age) emerged as a primary driver of this increase,

By 2050, there will be 25.2 million people living with Parkinson's disease worldwide (a 112% increase from 2021), largely due to population aging, suggests a modeling study published by The BMJ.

A team of scientists has revealed a breakthrough discovery, linking genetic variants in the gene ITSN1 to a significantly elevated risk of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition

Parkinson’s disease cases are projected to rise by 112%, affecting 25.2 million people by 2050. East Asia will bear the highest burden, with 10.9 million cases.

Scientists have identified a rare genetic mutation in ITSN1 that increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease by up to tenfold, marking one of the most significant genetic discoveries in the field. This breakthrough,
