A Practice Framework for Genetic Testing in Asymptomatic Relatives of Patients With Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease: Experience and Insights From Israel

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.
Presymptomatic genetic testing for genetic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease requires careful balancing of autonomy, psychological preparedness, and potential familial implications. Based on multidisciplinary experience in Israel, we propose a structured framework including pre‐test counseling, psychological appraisal, genetic testing, in‐person results ...

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2026.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

Evidence for different seeding activities of misfolded tau in classical and rapidly progressive Alzheimer's disease

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
The study analyzed the seeding activity of misfolded tau protein in Alzheimer's disease and rapidly progressive Alzheimer's disease patients and provides evidence for the existence of different tau assemblies supported by differences in cellular toxicity and morphology of thioflavin T‐positive real‐time quaking‐induced conversion products.

Variably Protease‐Sensitive Prionopathy: Two New Cases With Motor Neuron‐Dementia Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 827-833, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe two patients with variably protease‐sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) who developed progressive upper motor neuron symptoms, insomnia, behavioral and cognitive decline, compatible with primary lateral sclerosis associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

The worst is yet to come: probable sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in a well-controlled HIV patient

Prion, 2019
We describe a case of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in the setting of well-controlled HIV and discuss whether exist, in fact, HIV-related factors that may predispose to the development of prion disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is
