Description
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and a subtype of familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD178) are two prion diseases that have different clinical and pathological features, the same aspartic acid to asparagine mutation (D178N) at codon 178 of the prion protein (PrP) gene, but distinct genotypes generated by the methionine-valine polymorphism at codon 129 (129M or 129V) in the mutant allele of the PrP gene.
