Preferred Label : Creutzfeldt-jakob disease;

Symbol : CJD;

CISMeF acronym : CJD;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Creutzfeldt-jakob disease, familial;

Included titles and symbols : Creutzfeldt-jakob disease, sporadic; Creutzfeldt-jakob disease, variant; Creutzfeldt-jakob disease, heidenhain variant; sCJD; vCJD;

Description : The human prion diseases occur in inherited, acquired, and sporadic forms. Approximately 15% are inherited and associated with coding mutations in the PRNP gene. Acquired prion diseases include iatrogenic CJD, kuru (245300), variant CJD (vCJD) in humans, scrapie in sheep, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle. Variant CJD is believed to be acquired from cattle infected with BSE. However, the majority of human cases of prion disease occur as sporadic CJD (sCJD) (Collinge et al., 1996; Parchi et al., 2000; Hill et al., 2003). Johnson and Gibbs (1998) provided a comprehensive review of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and related transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Tyler (2003) described the characteristics of sporadic CJD as encapsulated by C. Miller Fisher in 1960.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the prion protein gene (PRNP, 176640.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Normal cerebrospinal fluid; Occasionally mild elevation of CSF protein;

Prefixed ID : #123400;
