Abstract excerpt
The common single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 129 of the prion protein gene is a key determinant of the genetic susceptibility to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Recently, a molecular classification of sporadic CJD based on the M129V genotype in conjunction with other determinants was proposed. In the present study, we describe the development and evaluation of a rapid fluorescent-based assay to detect this...
