Abstract excerpt
We investigated the risk associated with the codon 129 polymorphism in the prion protein gene (PRNP) and apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) isoforms for development of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) (n=126) and the possible influences on the disease pathology and its most important clinical characteristics. The PRNP M129V (PRNP129) polymorphism was determined using both DNA extracted from formalin fixed and paraffin...
