In Brief: These authors investigated patients referred to the UK National Prion Clinic (NPC) for suspected prion diseases. They identified 8 individuals with a history of receiving treatment with cadaveric pituitary-derived growth hormone (c-hGH) and referred to, or reviewed by, the NPC between 2017 and 2022. None had a diagnosis of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) (on the basis of clinical presentation, neuroimaging and biomarkers and, in two cases, by postmort...
