Kaplan–Meier analysis of age related risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Risk is derived from family history data on 166 obligate carriers of glucocerebrosidase mutations (parents of Type I Gaucher disease patients), combined for men and women. Overall lifetime RR of Parkinson's disease was 30 (95% CI 7 to 122) in carriers compared to the London population.
