Characterisation and prion transmission study in mice with genetic reduction of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease risk gene <i>Stx6</i>
2023-01-10
Abstract excerpt
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), the most common human prion disease, is thought to occur when the cellular prion protein (PrP C ) spontaneously misfolds and assembles into prion fibrils, culminating in fatal neurodegeneration. In a genome-wide association study of sCJD, we recently identified risk variants in and around the gene STX6 , with evidence to suggest a causal increase of STX6 expression in...
