AI Uncovers New Parkinson’s Subtypes for Targeted Treatments

TL;DR
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine used machine learning to identify three subtypes of Parkinson's disease based on progression speed, each with distinct genetic markers. The study suggests that the diabetes drug metformin may improve symptoms, particularly in the rapidly progressing subtype, paving the way for personalized treatment approaches.
