A member asked:
With uncle and grandmother having parkinsons, me having cervical dystonia + frozen shoulder, what are the chances i too will soon develop parkinson's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Family inheritance: Good question. Is your uncle the son of your grandmother? If yes, there is a chance THEY could have an inherited form. If your parents do not have Parkinsons, you probably will not either. There is not much relation of cervical dystonia, frozen shoulder, and Parkinsons, so it seems your risk of getting this is small.
