Familial Fatal Insomnia
Hereditary
autosomal dominant
disorder
characterized by tremors,
progressive
insomnia and a dream-like
state
, progressing to coma and
death
;
duration
averages 13 months. Like Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease
, FFI is associated with
homozygosity
at position 129 (for
valine
, in this case) and the folding
mutation
at position 178 in
native
prion protein
(PrPc). It is likely that yet another
mutation
specific
to FFI is responsible for its
activity
, as the FFI
form
of
prion
affects a different area of the
brain
, the
thalamus
.
