Abstract excerpt

A focus of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) among Jews from Libyan origin was identified in Israel 20 years ago. The incidence of the disease in this ethnic group is about 100 times more than in the worldwide population. The consumption of lightly cooked sheep brain has been invoked to explain the high incidence of CJD in this community. The discovery of mutations in the PrP gene which segregates with other...
