Abstract excerpt
Prion diseases are a group of etiologically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders. We have analyzed the coding region of PRNP gene in 121 healthy citizens of Serbia to determine whether the frequencies of M129V, E219K, and octapeptide repeat number polymorphism. For Serbian population, polymorphism of PRNP gene at codon 129 does not differ from healthy European populations. Also codon 219 is monomorphic for...
