Abstract excerpt
A novel human gene named Doppel (DPL) that has homology to the prion protein gene (PRNP) has recently been identified on chromosome 20p. By automated sequencing we have found a common (M174T, 48%) and an uncommon coding polymorphism. The polymorphic frequency of the M174T allele was examined in cases of variant and sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and compared with the frequency in the normal UK population. In...
