Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 14-3-3 protein is a physiological cellular protein expressed in various tissues, and its release to CSF reflects extensive neuronal damage as in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but also in other neurological diseases. 14-3-3 protein in CSF in the proper clinical context is a reliable diagnostic tool for sporadic CJD. However, the sensitivity varies across molecular CJD subtypes. OBJECTIVE: We...
