The average age of diagnosis is about 40 years of age and the average life span after diagnosis is 18 months. FFI is not caused by an infection, but is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Knowing its inheritance pattern AND knowing it is a prion disease, which of the following is accurate?
A. An individual who inherits one copy of the mutant allele will show the FFI phenotype. B.
