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.
Sporadic: This type of CJD accounts for 90% of cases in Canada. It affects people between 45 and 75 years old. The cause of sporadic CJD is not known. The disease appears without warning. Most people with sporadic CJD die within one year. Familial or genetic: This type of CJD appears in families with an abnormal gene.
