The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype. [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

Subtype and Regional-Specific Neuroinflammation in Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease [PDF]
The present study identifies deregulated cytokines and mediators of the immune response in the frontal cortex and cerebellum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) MM1 and VV2 subtypes compared to age-matched controls. Deregulated genes include pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, toll-like receptors, colony stimulating factors, cathepsins ...

Biomarkers and diagnostic guidelines for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by misfolded prion proteins (PrPSc). Effective therapeutics are currently not available and accurate diagnosis can be challenging.

Diagnostic approach in a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Prion diseases are an important cause of rapidly progressive dementias. Among them, the most common is sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). It is a rare and incurable disease, with rapid progression to death.

Characterization of Prion Disease Associated with a Two-Octapeptide Repeat Insertion
Genetic prion disease accounts for 10–15% of prion disease. While insertion of four or more octapeptide repeats are clearly pathogenic, smaller repeat insertions have an unclear pathogenicity.

The human spongiform encephalopathies [PDF]
The human spongiform encephalopathies are a group of heterogenous, usually fatal diseases, characterized by a unique pathogenetic mechanism and distinct clinical presentation. They are classified into sporadic, familial and acquired forms.

Incidence and spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease variants with mixed phenotype and co-occurrence of PrPSc types: an updated classification [PDF]
Six subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with distinctive clinico-pathological features have been identified largely based on two types of the abnormal prion protein, PrPSc, and the methionine (M)/valine (V) polymorphic codon 129 of the prion ...
