Ovine PRNP untranslated region and promoter haplotype diversity
The diversity and possible contribution of non-coding regions of the prion protein (PrP) gene (PRNP) to transmissible spongiform encephalopathy susceptibility and PrP regulation are not fully known. This study defined ten ovine PRNP promoters and five untranslated region (UTR) haplotypes found in atypical and classical scrapie cases and healthy control

Understanding the Phenotypic Heterogeneity Within the Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease MV1 Subtype
We 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 ...

Genetic characterization of the prion protein gene in camels (Camelus) with comments on the evolutionary history of prion disease in Cetartiodactyla [PDF]
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a fatal neurogenerative disease that include Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans, scrapie in sheep and goats, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and several others as well as the recently ...

Polymorphism at codon 129 of the prion protein gene (PRNP) is implicated both in susceptibility and phenotype of human prion diseases. We characterized the valine and methionine allele frequency at codon 129 in 109 individuals representing the normal Polish population and in 15 Polish CJD cases. The distribution of the genotype was 45% Met/Met, 39% Met/
