White Matter Integrity Involvement in the Preclinical Stage of Familial Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

White Matter Integrity Involvement in the Preclinical Stage of Familial Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to explore patterns of white matter (WM) alteration in preclinical stage familial Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (fCJD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).MethodsSeven asymptomatic carriers of the PRNP G114V mutation and six non-carriers were recruited from the s...
