Genome wide association studies and prion disease.Mead et al., London, United Kingdom. In Prion, 2011
Several quantitative trait loci in mouse have been mapped and their human counterparts analysed (HECTD2, CPNE8); other candidate genes regions have been chosen for functional reasons (SPRN, CTSD).
Genetics of prion disease.Collinge et al., London, United Kingdom. In Top Curr Chem, 2010
Several approaches including human genome wide association studies (GWAS), mouse mapping and differential expression studies are now revealing some of these genes which include RARB (retinoic acid receptor beta), the E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD2 and SPRN (Shadoo, shadow of prion protein gene).
