Impromptu genome test uncovered Ozzy Osbourne’s Parkinson’s

TV star Sharon Osbourne explains the diagnosis and misdiagnosis that eventually led to the discovery that her husband Ozzy Osbourne has Parkinson’s disease, including Ozzy’s peculiar walk (especially while under the influence), his general shyness and a 2003 genome test alongside Stephen Colbert, which unveiled that Ozzy carries the PARK2 gene (or PRKN). Plus, Sharon touches on Ozzy’s multiple sclerosis and a spinal tap that confirmed one doctor’s suspicion. [Filmed September 2021]
