15%--25% of the patients of Parkinson's disease inherited from their relatives,my GRANDMOTHER had it at the age of 74 ,then my FATHER has it now at the age of 55, will i inherit the Gene too? Doctor told me that it's more likely: the female passed it to a male, and then a male passed it to a female,which means i won't inherit this disease,right?

It doesn't mean you won't inherit it but it doesn't mean you will.

if it is on the X chromosome, you will not get it from your father. you got his Y chromosome.
however no one knows for sure the causes of parkinsons, i dont think that anyone has isolated the gene.
