Novel amyloid precursor protein mutation in an Iowa family with dementia and severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

abstract：:We analyzed the prion protein gene (PRNP) region in patients with transmissible spongiform encephalopathy associated with the PRNP D178N mutation. The results suggest that the D178N chromosomes had independent origins in each affected pedigree or apparently sporadic case. A de novo spontaneous PRNP mutation was observ...
