Summary
Descriptions of the aetiology of neurodegenerative disorders often focus on their specific molecular and genetic basis of archetypical phenotypes. Clinical trials usually focus on unequivocal and unconfounded cases, through strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. This is understandable in terms of clarity of didactic teaching, and clinical trial efficiency. However, comorbidity is the norm, not the exception.
