Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence and mortality rates of genetic transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases in Italy. METHODS: The authors have sequenced the prion protein gene (PRNP) in 643 patients referred to the Italian Registry of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and related disorders between 1993 and 2002. Crude age- and sex-specific incidence and mortality rates were calculated. Differences in...
