There is a very good overview of Parkinson's Disease at the Mayo Clinic website. (Search Parkingson's Disease Mayo).

Apparently some cases involve a genetic mutation and that can run in families, but it doesn't sound like that is the typical case.

Yes, Parkinson's can be hereditary. My father has Parkinson's and my youngest brother has Parkinson;s. My father;s doctor told us that it can be in every generation or can skip a generation. Mostly in the male gender, but not always. My dad has 5 children, 2 daughters and 3 sons. Only one has Parkinson's. If you get Parkinson's the sooner you can get on medication, the slower it progresses. You can have your Neurologist do a test if you thing you suspect Parkinson's. I think that there is not a diffident answer how it works in genetic.
