Abstract
Following our previous report of an 144-bp insertion in the open reading frame of the prion protein (PrP) gene, we have now identified a larger, 216-bp, insertion in the gene. The insertion which is in frame encodes 9 extra octapeptide repeat sequences in addition to the 5 repeats normally present and represents the largest insertion so far detected in the PrP gene.Entities:
