Table 1. gCJD mutations in Asia: The table summarizes incidence of gCJD cases against the known mutations in PRNP gene.

Figure 2. Total cases of CJD reported in Asia from 1986 to 2023. this graph indicates the number of CJD cases reported from the year 1986 to 2023 in Asia. sCJD were the highest among all CJD cases. China (1957) and Japan (1705) reported more cases of sCJD than any Asian country and Hong Kong (1) reported the least. On the other hand, gCJD was highest in Japan (370) and least in India (2). Iatrogenic cases were found to be the least among all CJD types and showed 85 cases overall in Asia, 82 being in Japan and 3 in India.
