Low blood pressure facts. Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, is blood pressure low enough that the flow of blood to the organs of the body is inadequate and symptoms and/or signs of low blood flow develop shock.
Our work identifying that a silent stroke can lead to Parkinson's disease shows it is more important than ever to ensure stroke patients have swift access to anti-inflammatory medication. These drugs could potentially either delay or stop the onset of Parkinson's disease.
1 Identified a variant in a gene (VPS35) that is the latest gene identified to cause Parkinson's disease. 2  Discovered mutations in a gene (DCTN1) that produce a very severe form of parkinsonism associated with breathing difficulties and severe depression.ogether, Mayo physicians and researchers have discovered a number of genes that cause parkinsonian disorders. For example, Mayo researchers: 1  Found the gene leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) to be the most common genetic cause of late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease.
