Question

question 12 (2.5 points)
protein misfolding causes _.
creutzfeldt-jakob disease
arthritis
immunodepression
schizophrenia
tuberculosis

Explanation:

Prions are misfolded proteins. Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease is a prion - related disorder. Arthritis is mainly an inflammatory condition (not directly due to protein misfolding in the same prion - like sense). Immunodepression can have various causes like infections (e.g., HIV), not protein misfolding. Schizophrenia has complex genetic and neurochemical bases, not protein misfolding as a primary cause. Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Answer:

Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease
