# REDIRECT Creutzfeldt – Jakob disease

Creutzfeldt – Jakob disease ( ) or CJD is a degenerative neurological disorder ( brain disease ) that is incurable and invariably fatal.

CJD is at times called a human form of mad cow disease ( bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE ) even though classic CJD is not related to BSE ; however, given that BSE is believed to be the cause of variant Creutzfeldt – Jakob ( vCJD ) disease in humans, the two are often confused.

The prion that is believed to cause Creutzfeldt – Jakob exhibits at least two stable conformations.
