(CNN) – A new study suggests Parkinson’s disease may begin before birth.

The research by Cedars-Sinai Medical center focused on young-onset Parkinson’s when the neuro-degenerative disorder develops before the age of 50.

It found people with young-onset Parkinson’s may have been born with disordered brain cells that went undetected for decades.

The study, which derived neurons from stem cells of people with young-onset Parkinson’s, found two key abnormalities in the brain cells.

The researchers tested drugs to try to reverse the abnormalities.

One of them; an FDA-approved drug for treating pre-cancerous skin lesions, reduced levels of one of the abnormalities in the lab-derived neurons.

One of the study co-authors says, “This exciting new research provides hope that one day we may be able to detect and take early action to prevent this disease in at-risk individuals.”
