Yasko SNP's and parkinsons medication

[Guest guest]

My mum is displaying symptoms of Parkinsons. She has suffered mental health

difficulties all her life and has been on a cocktail of drugs for years. We are

trying to sort out assessment as it may be the drugs that are causing a

secondary type presentation of parkinsons.

I sent for a parkinsons booklet which explains drug options and how they work.

I am gobsmacked to learn that the drugs target (to change the expression of)

COMT and MAO and block glutamate.

This is surprising if you saw my previous post and the gentics dr said that

SNP's to these genes do not cause disease yet these are what parkinsons drugs

target. These are genes tested as part of Yasko panel and the suggested

protocol also aims to change the expression of these.

I found this very interesting, especially as the same things appear to be

causing very similar problems for my mother and my son.

Hi,

I don't think I can help a lot, but have you looked into extrapyramidal symptoms

and the various dyskinesias, which could be caused by the drugs.

Best wishes

Patience
