Codon 200 mutation of the prion gene: genotype-phenotype correlations.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic mutations as a cause of prion diseases are rare. We describe a large family with multiple affected members with the codon E200K prion mutation. To improve understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlations of prion gene mutations, clinical, genetic and neuropathological data were obtained from family members over 15 years. Six patients with the codon E200K mutation and 2 patients without the codon 200...
