Abstract
I discussed the risk of phenoconversions from idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Comorbidity with iRBD, such as obstructive sleep apnea, may accerelate the risk of α-synuclein-related neurodegenerative diseases. Further studies are needed to specify the risk factors of phenoconversion from iRBD.
