PMCA-generated prions from the olfactory mucosa of patients with Fatal Familial Insomnia cause prion disease in mice
BACKGROUND: Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) is a genetic prion disease caused by the D178N mutation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) in coupling phase with methionine at PRNP 129. In 2017, we have shown that the olfactory mucosa (OM) collected from FFI patients contained traces of PrPSc detectable by...
