Instead, spongiform change and pathological prion protein deposits were observed in several brain regions. No prion protein gene mutations were found. Western blot analysis showed a five-band profile compatible with variably protease-sensitive prionopathy. We conclude that this disease can display prolonged disease duration and clinico-pathological features within the ALS/FTLD spectrum.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy presenting within ALS/FTD spectrum.research article30349865open access10.1002/acn3.632PMC6186932https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/acn3.632https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6186932/pdf
