Cathepsin D SNP associated with increased risk of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

BMC medical genetics - 21 Apr 2008

Bishop Matthew T, Kovacs Gabor G, Sanchez-Juan Pascual, Knight Richard S G

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) originally resulted from the consumption of foodstuffs contaminated by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) material, with 163 confirmed cases in the UK to date. Many thousands are likely to have been exposed to dietary infection and so it is important (for surveillance, epidemic modelling, public health and understanding pathogenesis) to identify genetic...
