Parkinson’s Disease-Overview

Parkinson’s disease one of the most complex neurological disorder. The disease risk and progression are due to common genetic variants. Approximately 6.2 million cases are reported each year according to the statistics published in 2015 whereas it is expected that this number will be twice by 2040. There are two types of Parkinson’s disease, familial Parkinson’s disease, and sporadic Parkinson’s disease. The disease is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies. Adult age increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease. In this review, we provide an overview of the disease pathology of Lewy bodies in the occurrence of Parkinson’s disease, in vitro studies to determine the role of iPSCs in treatment of Parkinson’s disease, in vivo studies to determine the role of animal model in studying disease modeling, and future prospective how single-cell RNA sequencing technology is a major advancement in studying and find the treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
