The team confirmed that a gene in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region was strongly linked with Parkinson’s disease; this region contains a large number of genes related to immune system function...
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen are protective against Parkinson’s disease, according to the study.
However, not everyone benefits from them to the same degree. The amount of risk reduction conferred by NSAIDs may vary widely depending on genetic differences, say the researchers.
Investigating the connection between Parkinson’s disease and inflammation, especially in the context of the variable genetic makeups of individuals, likely would lead to better, more selective medicines for treatment.
