Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a major human prion disease worldwide. CJD is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by an abnormal prion protein (PrPSc). To date, the exact etiology of sporadic CJD has not been fully elucidated. We investigated the E200K and V203I somatic mutations of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in sporadic CJD patients and matched healthy controls using pyrosequencing. In...
