â¢Parkinson disease 11 (PARK11): Type 11 Parkinson disease is linked to a genetic mutation on chromosome 2q21.2. Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive, degenerative brain disorder characterized by tremors, muscle rigidity and slowed movements.
The Alzheimer's mutation, a change in a single chemical, was found on chromosome 21. Many researchers had suspected that a gene might lie on that chromosome because people with Down syndrome, who have an extra copy of chromosome 21, almost always develop Alzheimer's disease.
