I am finishing up a summer workshop on Alzheimer's Disease and had a 
student ask an interesting question regarding the relationships between 
AD and other disorders (e.g. Huntington's, Parkinson's, Korsakoff's, 
etc.).  During the course we spend a good deal of time discussing the
primary literature which typically focuses on the "unique" 
characteristics of AD in comparison to normal age-matched controls 
and other disorders.  The student wondered how common it is to find AD 
patients that also have another disorder like the ones listed above, 
and more importantly, would a combination of AD with another disorder 
produce "unique" characteristics in comparison to each disorder alone?

Thanks for your assistance!
