All Information Alternative Names Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; vCJD; CJD; Jacob-Creutzfeldt disease Definition of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a form of brain damage that leads to a rapid decrease of mental function and movement. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: CJD is believed to result from a protein called a prion. A prion causes normal proteins to fold abnormally. This affects the other proteins' ability to function. There are several types of CJD. The disorder is very rare, occurring in about 1 out of 1 million people. It usually first appears between ages 20 and 70, with average age at onset of symptoms in the late 50s. CJD can be grouped into classic or new variant disease.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a very rare disorder of the brain that has received quite a lot of media attention since the 1990s. It is related to mad cow disease, and this disorder can be considered to be quite frightening because of its serious symptoms. History Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is named for the two men who discovered the disorder in the 1920s. They worked independently of one another, and both were treating patients who presented some very unusual symptoms. Although many of their findings are contrary to what we know understand about this disease, Creutzfeldt and Jakob provided the groundwork for learning more. Identification Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is considered to be a form of human spongiform encephalitis; patients suffering from this disease have small holes that appear and spread within the brain. There are several forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD): sporadic, variant and familial. Sporadic and variant are the most common, while familial, as the name implies, is generally genetic in nature.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and "Mad Cow Disease" This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is the human form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or "mad cow disease", which results from infection by an unconventional transmissible agent. The nature of this agent is still unknown, but generally believed is prion protein, a pathogenic form of the protein that is both less soluble and more resistant to enzyme degradation than the normal form. Consumption of contaminated beef products, whole blood transfusions by pathogen-carrier donors might cause transmission of the disease.

TSEs, which can affect humans and animals, cause brain tissue to become so filled with holes that it resembles a sponge upon microscopic examination. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are also called prion diseases . Prions are proteins that lack nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA), which are complex compounds present in all other living cells. Prions occur in a normal, harmless form, and in an infectious form, which causes disease. Prion diseases occur when infectious prions bind to normal proteins in the central nervous system and cause abnormal cell conformation. Prion diseases can occur in animals that consume prion-contaminated food. These diseases include scrapie, which occurs in sheep and goats, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which occurs in cows and is also called " mad cow disease Transmission of prion diseases from one species to another is not fully understood, but it can occur.
