Genetic prion diseases (gPrDs) are caused by autosomal-dominant mutations in the prion protein gene (PRNP). Although the first PRNP mutations identified, and most since, are PRNP missense, octapeptide repeat insertions, deletion and nonsense mutations have now also been shown to cause gPrD. Based on clinicopathologic features of familial disease, gPrDs

Prion diseases are degenerative disorders of the nervous system caused by transmissible particles that contain a pathogenic isoform of the prion protein, a normal constituent of cell membranes. The most common human prion disease is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Most cases are sporadic with unknown mode of transmission, 10-15% of cases are inherited,

Prion diseases are a unique group of neurologic diseases caused by an abnormal protein conformation. Prion diseases encompass genetic, sporadic, iatrogenic, and acquired conditions in humans and other mammals. Although they are relatively rare, they produce a diverse array of symptoms, uniformly are fatal, and provide important information about ...

Prion Diseases and Emerging Prion Diseases
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2008Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also called prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative disorders. An abnormal isoform of the prion protein (PrP(Sc)) generated by post-translational modification of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is believed to be the main component of this infectious agent.

The prion diseases are a family of rare neurodegenerative disorders that result from the accumulation of a misfolded isoform of the prion protein (PrP), a normal constituent of the neuronal membrane. Five subtypes constitute the known human prion diseases; kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS), fatal ...

Prion diseases are disorders affecting the central nervous system caused by alterations in the conformation of the cellular prion protein. They can be sporadic, hereditary, or acquired and usually present with myoclonus and rapidly progressive dementia in human patients.

Prion diseases are a group of disorders sharing clinical and pathological features. Many of the enigmas of these diseases have now yielded to the concerted effort to understand them and their unusual pathogenesis. The genetic backgrounds of the various diseases are being clarified at an impressive rate, but the cause of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob ...

Prion diseases are a group of invariably fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative disorders that are associated with the misfolding of the normal cellular prion protein, with the misfolded conformers constituting an infectious unit referred to as a "prion".
