Population distribution of the methionine allele at the PRNP codon 129 polymorphism in Europe and the Middle East.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2008

Mercier Géraldine, Diéterlen Florent, Lucotte Gérard

Abstract excerpt

Methionine homozygosity at codon 129 of the prion protein gene is a risk factor for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Knowledge of M129V polymorphism in normal populations may contribute to a better understanding of prion diseases. M129V polymorphism was studied in 2201 normal subjects, originating from...
