Relative expression of AD-relevant miRNAs in the prion diseases sJCD and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker (GSS) indicate a similar up-regulation of these inducible, NF-kB-regulated miRNAs; clinical parameters including age and gender of these human PrD cases (both JCD and GSS) have been described in detail elsewhere (Lukiw et al., 2011). Here, NFKB1 is linked to prion disease.
