The phenotypic expression of different mutations in transmissible human spongiform encephalopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Clinical, pathological, and experimental transmission characteristics are reviewed for each of the known mutations in the amyloid precursor gene (PRNP) associated with familial spongiform encephalopathies. All mutation groups show an earlier age at onset and longer duration of illness than sporadic disease, and more or less distinctive patterns of illness can be recognized for each mutation, although much...
