CJD, as well as other spongiform encephalopathies, is caused by an unusual pathogenic agent called a prion. A prion is a deviant form of a normally harmless protein found in the brains of mammals and birds.
CreutzfeldtâJakob disease (CJD) the commonest phenotype of these, annually affects one person per million . Genetic CJD (gCJD) follows autosomal dominant inheritance patterns and is caused by different mutations in the prion protein gene (PRNP) on chromosome 20 . Familial CJD accounts for about 10â15% of cases, but this may be an underestimate of the heredofamilial forms.
