Hey Raj! What blood test are you referring to? I hope you are correct, and Rich has this rare form, if the other symptoms follow slowly!

Apparently all the ET tremors starting on one side to begin with is characteristic of this rare kind (30%?) of PD, where other symptoms follow slowly. Besides, I had a call from NIH last week. They did not find in my blood test any of the known gene mutations that has been known to occur in PD patients. Obviously, there are other PD genes that we don't know about.
