What is it about?

The study shows that there is an underlying epidemiological structure of several neurodegenerative diseases and that the misfolded protein deposit may explain it.

Why is it important?

Because it links risk factor epidemiology (general) with biomarkers epidemiology (clinical) and because shows that there could be shared modifiers of risk or disease course (progression). Identification of molrcules or drugs which might act across diseases may arise from such deductive idea. The driver notion opens a research field aimed to validate it and may uncover keys to understand results of epidemiological studies for single disorders.
