Biochemical and Neuropathological Findings in a Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease Patient with the Rare Val180Ile-129Val Haplotype in the Prion Protein Gene

Biochemical and Neuropathological Findings in a Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease Patient with the Rare Val180Ile-129Val Haplotype in the Prion Protein Gene

Genetic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (gCJD) associated with the V180I mutation in the prion protein (PrP) gene (<i>PRNP</i>) in phase with residue 129M is the most frequent cause of gCJD in East Asia, whereas it is quite uncommon in Caucasians. We report on a gCJD patient with the rare V180...
