Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: familial clustering among Libyan-born Israelis.

R H Neugut, A I Neugut, E Kahana, Z Stein, M Alter.   

Abstract

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was studied among Libyan-born Israelis, in whom the disease appears with unusual frequency. Interviews with relatives of deceased victims revealed statistically significant clustering within families. The results suggest either a common source of exposure or a genetic influence on susceptibility to the virus.
