PMID: 33274461
Objective: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) comprises several subtypes as defined by genetic and prion protein characteristics, which are associated with distinct clinical and pathological phenotypes. To date, no clinical test...

PMID: 32949544
Background: Human prion diseases are rare and usually rapidly fatal neurodegenerative disorders, the most common being sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). Variants in the PRNP gene that encodes prion protein are...

Objective: To present the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center's (NPDPSC's) experience using CSF real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) as a diagnostic test, to examine factors associated with false-negative RT-QuIC results,...

PMID: 32535770
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a transmissible brain proteinopathy. Five main clinicopathological subtypes (sCJD-MM(V)1, -MM(V)2C, -MV2K, -VV1, and -VV2) are currently distinguished. Histopathological evidence suggests that the localisation of prion...

JAMA Neurol
. 2020 Jun;
77(9):1141-1149.
PMID: 32478816
Importance: Early diagnosis is a requirement for future treatment of prion diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted images and improved real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have...

. 2016 Nov;
81(1):79-92.
PMID: 27893164
Objective: Several prion amplification systems have been proposed for detection of prions in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), most recently, the measurements of prion seeding activity with second-generation real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC)....

PMID: 26791950
More than 100,000 genetic variants are reported to cause Mendelian disease in humans, but the penetrance-the probability that a carrier of the purported disease-causing genotype will indeed develop the disease-is...

288(41):29846-61.
PMID: 23974118
The unique phenotypic characteristics of mammalian prions are thought to be encoded in the conformation of pathogenic prion proteins (PrP(Sc)). The molecular mechanism responsible for the adaptation, mutation, and evolution...

PMID: 23379482
Aims: Most biomarkers used for the premortem diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) are surrogate in nature, and provide suboptimal sensitivity and specificity. Results: We report that CJD-associated brain iron...
