Pathological progression of genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with a PrP V180I mutation.

Abstract excerpt

In comparison to sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) with MM1-type and MM2- cortical (MM2C)-type, genetic CJD with a prion protein gene V180I mutation (V180I gCJD) is clinically characterized by onset at an older age, slower progress, and the absence of visual disturbances or cerebellar symptoms.
