    Author: Neugut RH, Neugut AI, Kahana E, Stein Z, Alter M.
    Journal: Neurology; 1979 Feb; 29(2):225-31. PubMed ID: 372840.
    Abstract:
    Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was studied among Libyan-born Israelis, in whom the disease appears with unusual frequency. Interviews with relatives of deceased victims revealed statistically significant clustering within families. The results suggest either a common source of exposure or a genetic influence on susceptibility to the virus.
