The two major causes of Parkinson&rsquo
s disease (PD) are genetic susceptibility and exposure to agricultural pesticides. Access to 23,224 individuals&rsquo
hospital primary discharge diagnoses of PD allowed the mapping of cases against kn

The identification of cancer as a genetic disease is based on the well-documented fact that somatic mutations are required to create the lethal malady. But that is not the whole story. Cancer is also an environmental disease since it takes time to de
