No prions are composed of protein - they are nonliving.

Secondary structure of prion proteins in prion disease like Creutz feldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is
All prion diseases are inevitably fatal; there are no known cures.
Patients with sporadic prion diseases may have a susceptibility polymorphism in their PRNP gene, and may have spontaneous mutations forming prion proteins.
