How common is prion disease? These disorders are very rare. They affect about one person per million worldwide each year. This means that approximately 250 to 300 cases occur annually in the United States. What genes are related to prion disease? Mutations in the PRNP gene cause prion disease. Although familial forms of prion disease are caused by inherited mutations in the PRNP gene, prion diseases are most often sporadic, which means that they occur in people without any known risk factors or gene mutations. Rarely, prion diseases also can be transmitted by infection. The PRNP gene provides the instructions to make a protein called the prion protein (PrP). Mutations in this gene cause cells to produce an abnormal form of the prion protein, known as PrP Sc . The abnormal protein builds up in the brain and destroys nerve cells, resulting in the signs and symptoms of prion disease.

Glial cells, microvascular endothelia, and cells of hematopoetic origin are integrally involved in the normal development and/or functioning of the nervous system and play a crucial role in disease. Emerging concepts on the interaction among all of these cells hold great promise for increasing our understanding of how the nervous system works in normal and diseased states, and will broaden our perspective on how we think about the nervous system.

Familial dysautonomia affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary actions such as digestion, breathing, tearing, and the regulation of blood pressure and body temperature. This condition also affects the sensory nervous system, which controls activities related to the senses, such as taste and the perception of pain, heat, and cold. How common is familial dysautonomia? In populations of individuals with Central or Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish ancestry, familial dysautonomia occurs in about 1 in 3,700 people. This disorder is rare in the general population. What genes are related to familial dysautonomia?
