The most common is the sporadic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with 111 diagnosed definitive cases during 2002-2012. In addition, an increasing number of genetic forms is being diagnosed, with 24 confirmed cases during 2002-2012. Three cases of Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome were confirmed in 2009 a 2012. No case of new variant CJD has been diagnosed in the Czech Republic yet. Since 2007, the laboratory also performs obligatory testing of cornea transplant donors.
