The congophilic kuru plaques are composed partly of a host\u2010encoded prion protein, and a missense variant prion protein with the codon 102 proline\u2010to\u2010leucine change (Leu<jats:sup>102<\/jats:sup>) is commonly present in patients with Gerstmann\u2010Str\u00e4ussler syndrome. To investigate the relationship between this syndrome and CJD with congophilic kuru plaques, we made a sequence analysis of the prion protein gene from patients with CJD, with or without congophilic kuru plaques. We found no alterations other than the Leu<jats:sup>102<\/jats:sup> change, common to Gerstmann\u2010Str\u00e4ussler syndrome, in one of the prion proteins alleles of the patient with congophilic kuru plaques. In the prion protein genotype analysis of other patients with CJD, the Leu<jats:sup>102<\/jats:sup> allele was revealed to be carried heterozygously by 6 of 7 patients who had CJD with congophilic kuru plaques, yet no patient with CJD without congophilic kuru plaques had this allele. Interestingly, the Leu<jats:sup>102<\/jats:sup> allele was also carried by some unaffected relatives of 3 patients with CJD with congophilic kuru plaques but with no apparent familial occurrence of a similar neurological disorder. Our findings show that CJD with congophilic kuru plaques should be categorized as belonging to Gerstmann\u2010Str\u00e4ussler syndrome, not CJD, and also suggest that the variant prion protein with Leu<jats:sup>102<\/jats:sup> is closely related to the amyloidgenesis seen in subjects with congophilic kuru plaques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410270205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T14:18:44Z","timestamp":1104589124000},"page":"121-126","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Creutzfeldt\u2010Jakob disease patients with congophilic kuru plaques have the missense variant prion protein common to Gerstmann\u2010Str\u00e4ussler syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Katsumi","family":"Doh\u2010Ura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Tateishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tetsuyuki","family":"Kitamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshiyuki","family":"Sakaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/209794a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.161.3839.388"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410050616"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/104.3.559"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00695613"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(85)90333-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/315331a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(86)90662-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.83.17.6372"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/dna.1986.5.315"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.6801762"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198712173172505"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(83)90168-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/338342a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-291X(89)92317-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_2","first-page":"435","article-title":"Immunohistochemical confirmation of Creutzfeldt\u2010Jakob disease with a long clinical course with amyloid plaque core antibodies","volume":"131","author":"Kitamoto T","year":"1988","journal-title":"Am J Pathol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410240108"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2448875"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-2697(86)90403-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/304230a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.bi.47.070178.001343"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410210612"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_24_2","first-page":"189","article-title":"Transthyretin (prealbumin) in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy: genetic and functional aspects","volume":"48","author":"Saraiva MJM","year":"1988","journal-title":"Adv Neurol"}],"container-title":["Annals of Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fana.410270205","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ana.410270205","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]],"date-time":"2023-09-27T02:16:01Z","timestamp":1695780961000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ana.410270205"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1990,2]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1990,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ana.410270205"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ana.410270205","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0364-5134","1531-8249"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0364-5134","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-8249","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1990,2]]}}}
