  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Abnormal Prion Protein [Interpretation] in Cerebral spinal fluid Document by RT-QuIC
Prion protein.abnormal
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/#:~:text=Abstract,host%20prion%20protein%20(PrP).
