The human spongiform encephalopathies [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Neurology, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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 ...

High diagnostic performance of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid beta‐synuclein for sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Beta‐synuclein is a promising cerebrospinal fluid and blood biomarker of synaptic damage. Here we analysed its accuracy in the discrimination between sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (n = 150) and non‐prion rapidly progressive dementias (n = 106).

Sporadic MM-1 Type Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease With Hemiballic Presentation and No Cognitive Impairment Until Death: How New NCJDRSU Diagnostic Criteria May Allow Early Diagnosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the most common human prion disorder. Although associated with heterogeneous clinical phenotypes, its distinctive feature is the presence of a rapidly progressive multidomain cognitive impairment.

Beyond PrP res type 1/type 2 dichotomy in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) cases are currently subclassified according to the methionine/valine polymorphism at codon 129 of the PRNP gene and the proteinase K (PK) digested abnormal prion protein (PrPres)identified on Western blotting ...

Proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
So far, only the detection of 14-3-3 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been accepted as diagnostic criterion for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). However, this assay cannot be used for screening because of the high rate of false-positive results,

CSF lactate dehydrogenase activity in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease exceeds that in other dementias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The diagnosis of Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) is still made by exclusion of other dementias. We now evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a possible additional diagnostic tool. CSF LDH levels of patients with CJD (

Follow-up investigations of tau protein and S-100B levels in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: S-100B and tau protein have a high differential diagnostic potential for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). So far there has been only limited information available about the dynamics of these parameters in the cerebrospinal ...

Evidence for a pathogenic role of different mutations at codon 188 of PRNP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Clinical and pathological changes in familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) cases may be similar or indistinguishable from sporadic CJD. Therefore determination of novel mutations in PRNP remains of major importance.

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease: A case report and differential diagnoses

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2022
Although sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease and often difficult to diagnose at the earliest onset, meticulous clinical examination, electroencephalography, and neuroimaging findings will help in diagnosis.
