Prion diseases can also be hereditary, as seen in some cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), fatal familial insomnia (FFI), and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (GSS).
Secondary structure of prion proteins in prion disease like Creutz feldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is
A prion is a misfolded form of a protein molecule, specifically the prion protein (PrP). It can induce other normally folded PrP proteins to adopt the misfolded conformation, leading to the spread of prion diseases.
All prion diseases are inevitably fatal; there are no known cures.
A prion, or misfolded protein caused by genetic mutation.
A prion is a misfolded protein that is considered an infectious agent because they cause properly folded proteins to convert into the misfolded, prion form. In humans, prions cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In cattle, prions cause mad-cow disease.

There are multiple prion diseases, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or "mad cow disease."

All forms of CJD are caused by the presence of a faulty protein in the brain, called prion. Prions occur in both a normal form, which is a harmless protein found in the body's cells, and in an infectious form, which causes disease.

no albinism is a hereditary.
NO. It is caused by a PRION, not a virus.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is primarily classified as a neurodegenerative disease rather than a prion disease. While prion diseases are caused by misfolded proteins that induce abnormal folding in other proteins, ALS is associated with the aggregation of proteins like TDP-43 and SOD1, but it does not exhibit the specific transmissible properties characteristic of prion diseases. Some research suggests similarities in protein misfolding mechanisms, but ALS does not meet the criteria to be classified as a prion disease.
