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.
Inherited mutations in the prion protein gene (PRNP) cause the familial form of prion disease. This prion gene provides instructions to your cells regarding how to make the prion protein. In fCJD, the mutations in this gene cause the cells to produce an abnormal form of the prion protein instead of the normal form.ike sCJD, sFI is caused by a misfolded protein, but also like sCJD, what causes that protein to misfold is unknown. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep (insomnia), difficulty walking, weight loss and excessive tears in the eye. The symptoms rapidly progress to loss of consciousness and death.
