To test the alleged genetic linkage between essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, the relatives of patients with essential tremor were examined to see whether Parkinson's disease occurred more frequently than expected. There was no increase of Parkinson's disease in the essential tremor families. It is concluded that essential tremor and Parkinson's disease are genetically independent diseases.
为了检验特发性震颤与帕金森病之间所谓的基因连锁关系,对特发性震颤患者的亲属进行了检查,以观察帕金森病的发生频率是否高于预期。在特发性震颤家族中,帕金森病的发病率并没有增加。得出的结论是,特发性震颤和帕金森病是基因独立的疾病。
