Abstract excerpt
A novel phenotype of familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with mutated codon 200 of the prion protein gene (PRNP) coupled with the valine codon 129 (E200K-129V haplotype) has two features never observed in subjects carrying the pathogenic mutation coupled with the methionine codon 129 (E200K-129M haplotype): (1) plaque-like prion protein (PrP) deposits in the cerebellum and (2) type 2 protease-resistant prion...
