Understanding the natural variability of prion diseases

Geissen, Markus, Krasemann, Susanne, Matschke, Jakob, Glatzel, Markus·2007·Vaccine

Abstract

Prion diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders with an invariably fatal disease course. Although various etiologies have been proposed it is apparent that at least a subset of these diseases are of infectious nature. An essential part of the infectious agent, termed the prion, is mainly composed of an abnormal isoform (PrP(Sc)) of a host-encoded normal cellular protein (PrP(C)). The molecular details of the pathophysiology of this group of diseases are unclear but the conversion of PrP(C) to PrP(Sc) plays a fundamental role. In all human prion diseases, PrP(Sc) is deposited in the central nervous system. These disorders include sporadic, genetic and acquired Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The molecular classification of human prion diseases is important in order to understand underlying disease mechanisms and for the development of novel therapy protocols. Current classification systems are based on the assessment of clinical presentation, genetic investigations, neuropathological findings and biochemical analysis of PrP(Sc).

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The heterogeneity of PrPSc deposition patterns is higher in human prion diseases and comprises synaptic, perivacuolar, plaque-like, kuru-plaque, florid-plaque, punctuate, perineuronal, and intraneuronal patterns, which might occur side-by-side or even overlapping in the same patient.

    “Although the deposition patterns of misfolded PrPSc are diverse in murine models of prion disease, the heterogeneity of PrPSc deposition patterns is higher in human prion diseases and comprises synaptic, perivacuolar, plaque-like, kuru-plaque, florid-plaque, punctuate, perineuronal, and intraneuronal patterns, which might occur side-by-side or even overlapping in the same patient [119,120].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
