Abstract excerpt
Genetic prion diseases are caused by mutations in PRNP, which encodes the prion protein (PrPC). Why these mutations are pathogenic, and how they alter the properties of PrPC are poorly understood. We have consented and accessed 22 individuals of a multi-generational Israeli family harboring the highly penetrant E200K PRNP mutation and generated a library of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) representing nine...
