There are different prions that arise from different conditions. Prion diseases are usually obtained via the consumption of infected meat products. Creutzfeldt-Jakob is the most common form of the disease that affects humans. Prions are found abnormally clustered in the brain. CJD can be inherited, so it is usually associated with family occurrences, thus given the name familial CJD. CJD also can also develop in individuals that are at the age of 60 years old. CJD can also be acquired through infected tissue and lack of sterilization in a medical procedure. An example of such acquired CJD in procedure would be a cornea transplant.<ref> | There are different prions that arise from different conditions.
