Yet the various forms of the disease are more alike than they are different, and everyone affected by CJD must eventually contend with serious mental and physical problems. Typical first symptoms include personality changes like anxiety and depression, memory loss, confusion and impaired thinking.
Because they can run in families, these forms of prion disease are classified as familial. Familial prion diseases, which have overlapping signs and symptoms, include familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straeussler-StrÃ¤ussler scheinker (SYNDROME), gss and fatal familial (INSOMNIA). ffihe loss of these cells creates microscopic sponge-like holes (vacuoles) in the brain, which leads to the signs and symptoms of prion disease. The other 85 to 90 percent of cases of prion disease are classified as either sporadic or acquired.
