Phenoconversion to manifest neurodegenerative disease

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Lateral and medial pathway microstructural integrity is associated with phenoconversion to manifest neurodegenerative disease in humans (isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder) (HR < 0.51, P < 0.05).

    “higher integrity of both pathways at baseline was associated with reduced future risk of phenoconversion in iRBD”
