How the PINK1 Gene May Contribute to Parkinson’s Disease
Source: Healthline
The PINK1 gene is a gene that tells your body how to make an important mitochondrial protein. Researchers believe that when this protein isn’t built correctly, the cells in your heart, muscles, and testicles lack protection from stress and infection.It’s known that without the energy from correctly working mitochondria, you can develop Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. The PINK1 gene is associated with early-onset Parkinson’s.
