Parkinson’s Disease By: Megan Muth Period 3

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease is known to have many different symptoms. Many of these include changes in moods, behavior, thinking, motor skill sensations , rigid muscles, impaired posture, and speech changes. The biggest symptom of this disease is known as the slow tremors. Tremors are slow physical movement, and in some cases, total loss of physical movement.

Causes of Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease has many different causes. Some of those causes are genetics, head trauma, cerebral anoxia, toxins, and can also be caused by drugs. The two main causes are genetics and head injuries. Genetics – Someone who has Parkinson’s Disease is likely to have relative who have Parkinson’s Disease. This can be passed down from generation to generation. Head Injury – People who have had serious head injuries are 4x more likely to experience Parkinson’s Disease compared to someone who has never had a head injury.

Relation to the cell process Scientists have been studying Parkinson’s Disease for quite a while and have only recently found possible answers for how Parkinson’s Disease is caused through the cell process. In research they believe they have found the process in which Parkinson’s Disease is caused. First off, transcription is the first process that leads to the expression of the genes. This then leads into the protein building instructions. Mutations can be caused by copying disorders or errors. In this disease, certain genes that have been mutated incorrectly can cause unwanted proteins. As a result, unwanted proteins can lead to the impairment or death of neurons in the brain which can lead to the symptoms of the disease.
