Cerebrospinal fluid real-time quaking-induced conversion is a robust and reliable test for sporadic creutzfeldt–jakob disease: An international study [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, 2016
: Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) has been proposed as a sensitive diagnostic test for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; however, before this assay can be introduced into clinical practice, its reliability and reproducibility need to be ...

Real-time quaking-induced conversion assay is accurate for Lewy body diseases: a meta-analysis

Neurological Sciences, 2022
Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) is a novel in vitro acellular seed amplification analysis and has been widely used to detect prion diseases. Due to the similar mechanism of abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein, RT-QuIC has great potential for diagnosing Lewy body diseases.

Diagnostic Value of Salivary Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion in Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, 2022
AbstractBackgroundAggregation of α‐synuclein (oligomeric α‐syn) has been considered as the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Studies showed oligomeric α‐syn/total α‐syn ratio was increased in the saliva of patients with PD, suggesting that seeding activity of salivary oligomeric α‐syn may be a novel ...

Amplification and Detection of Minuscule Amounts of Misfolded Prion Protein by Using the Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion

open access: yesMethods in Molecular Biology, 2018
A characteristic feature of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) is the progressive accumulation of protein aggregates in the brain in a self-propagation manner. Based on this mechanism, in vitro protein amplification systems (such as real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC)) for the detection of misfolded prion protein scrapie (PrPres)

Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion for Diagnosis of Prion Disease

2017
Sporadic human prion diseases are defined on the basis of clinical features, with periodic sharp discharge (PSD) on electroencephalograms (EEG), a positive 14-3-3 protein assay of CSF samples, and abnormal signals on cerebral cortex on diffusion-weighted (DWI) MR images.

Using Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion (RT-QuIC) in Clinical Practice for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Diagnostics

Prion diseases, a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders, present significant diagnostic challenges due to their subtle clinical manifestations, which often mimic those of other treatable neurological conditions. This diagnostic ambiguity underscores the necessity for reliable and specific diagnostic tools.
