Does anyone know how this disease is transmitted/concieved? Is it genetic, or does someone have to be exposed to a substance of some sort (chemicals/radiation/etc)?
Can it be passed down to family members?

PSP is a rare degenerative neurological disorder. The cause is unknown. It is unknown whether PSP is caused by hereditary factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both.. It is not "transmitted or conceived"...it just happens. It is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease.

My mom had it beginning in her early 70's. It took 10 years to run its course and end in death. So naturally I am wondering about the possibility or probability of my getting it.
