Article Synopsis
- Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (s-CJD) is a rare, fatal brain disorder, with familial cases caused by genetic mutations, notably the E200K variant, being particularly concentrated in Israel.
- A study analyzing data from 1985 to 2018 found that while the incidence rates of familial (f-CJD) and sporadic (s-CJD) cases remain stable, the ratio of f-CJD to s-CJD cases decreased slightly during this period.
- The overall incidence of s-CJD in Israel aligns with global rates, and there is no evidence of CJD transmission between affected individuals and the general population.
