Understanding the Phenotypic Heterogeneity Within the Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease MV1 Subtype. [PDF]
Neuropathol Appl NeurobiolWe present the clinical, pathological and prion biophysical features of three atypical cases of the MV1 subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD). We propose that these heterozygous cases exist on a spectrum ranging from MM1‐like to VV1‐like phenotypes and recommend that subtyping be performed at pH 6.9 to avoid missing atypical or mixed ...

Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease: An Unusual Presentation of Corticobasal Syndrome [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 Corticobasal syndrome is an atypical parkinsonian syndrome consisting of a constellation of clinical findings that can be the result of various etiologies. While most cases are a result of a tauopathy, such as corticobasal degeneration, other etiologies must be considered in the evaluation of patients presenting with corticobasal syndrome. We present a

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking-Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Ann NeurolObjective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...
