|---|---|---|---|
| name | Abnormal Prion Protein [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by RT-QuIC | ||
| description | Detection of pathologic prions in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The test uses recombinant prion protein (PrP) as a reagent substrate and patient CSF in a real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay. If pathologic prions are present in the patient's CSF, they propagate misfolding of the reagent PrP to form amyloid, which is detected using a fluorescent indicator. RT-QuIC has been adopted in clinical practice due to the sensitivity, specificity, and use of CSF (not a brain biopsy) for testing. The reported sensitivity of RT-QuIC in detecting CJD is >90%, and the specificity approaches 100%. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Prion protein.abnormal | ||
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | CSF = Cerebral spinal fluid | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
