Well clinicians perform better, but the absence of burnout does not capture the full extent of what it means for a clinician to be well.

Progression from first symptom to death usually takes just months, and most patients are in a state of profound dementia by the time of diagnosis. Individuals with prion protein gene (PRNP) mutations may know their genetic status decades in advance of symptoms, creating an opportunity for early therapeutic intervention to preserve full cognitive function and quality of life. Successful realization of this opportunity will rest upon several pillars informed by genetics: i) pharmacologic validation of the therapeutic hypothesis that PrP lower ... |
