LOINC description : Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs or prion diseases) are a rare group
of invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorders that affect humans and other mammals.
TSEs are protein misfolding diseases that involve the accumulation of an abnormally
aggregated form of the normal host prion protein (PrP). They are unique among protein
misfolding disorders in that they are transmissible and have different strains of
infectious agents that are associated with unique phenotypes in vivo. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19157856/#:
