Abstract excerpt
The genetic variant at codon 129 (M129V) of the prion protein gene (PRNP) is considered to be a major genetic risk factor for prion diseases. In this study, we examined the possible genetic association of PRNP*129Val with multiple sclerosis (MS, n=681), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n=801), alcoholism (n=761) and schizophrenia (n=715) in a Korean population, and compared the data with previous genetic...
