Scientists aren't exactly sure what chromosomes are affected in PD, it's an area of ongoing research. Atricles such as the one below...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

say that they have an idea of which chromosomes/genes are affected -

"Several investigators (1) have questioned the suggestion made by Polymeropoulos et al. (2) that a single nonsynonymous mutation changing G to A at position 209 in the -synuclein gene, labeled G209A (an Ala53thr substitution), found in association with Parkinson's disease (PD) in four apparently unrelated Italian and Greek families, may be a cause of the disease..."

but it's not been proven as of yet.
