Google co-founder Sergey Brin has revealed his fear that he could develop Parkinson’s disease, and has said he may pump more money into research into the condition.
Google共同創辦人布林透露，他擔心自己可能罹患帕金森症，並說他可能會投入更多資金資助這類疾病的研究。
The Russian-born internet billionaire, whose mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago, said that a recent DNA test indicated that he had an increased risk of developing the disorder.
這名在俄羅斯出生的網路億萬富豪，他的媽媽10年前就被診斷出罹患帕金森症，他說，最近接受的去氧核醣核酸檢驗顯示，他有較高的機率罹患這種疾病。
Writing on his personal blog, the 35-year-old said that familial Parkinson’s was rare, but that he carried the genetic mutation, G2019S, known to be associated with such cases.
現年35歲的他在個人部落格上撰文說，家族性帕金森症很罕見，但是他帶有已知與發生這類疾病有關的基因突變G2019S。
"The exact implications of this are not entirely clear," Brin wrote. "Nonetheless it is clear that I have a markedly higher chance of developing Parkinson’s in my lifetime than the average person."
他寫道：「這個突變的確實影響還不完全清楚」，「不過卻明白顯示，我這一生發生帕金森症的機率比一般人高得多。」
He added that having foreknowledge gave him "the opportunity to perform and support research into this disease."
他還說，事先知道此事讓他「有機會對這類疾病的研究給予更多支持。」
