Let Z be a subvariety of the moduli space of abelian varieties, and suppose that Z contains a dense set of points for which the corresponding abelian varieties are isogenous. A corollary of the Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that Z is a weakly special subvariety. I shall discuss the proof of this conjecture in the case when Z is a curve and obstacles to its proof for higher dimensions.
