Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To define the clinicopathologic, genetic, and pathogenic prion protein (PrP(Sc)) characteristics associated with a novel mutation of the prion protein gene (PRNP). METHODS: The coding segment of PRNP from the proband and family members was sequenced and the brain of the proband was histologically studied.
