arXiv:2605.28375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prion diseases are rare, rapidly progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorders that remain difficult to diagnose, particularly in their early stages because of nonspecific clinical presentations. However, to our knowledge, there is no publicly available prion-disease-focused dataset designed to capture a broad range of clinically relevant entities from the biomedical literature. We introduce PrionNER, a manually annotated named entity recognition dataset for prion disease clinical information in PubMed abstracts. The current release comprises 317 abstracts, 2,943 sentences, and 6,955 text-bound entity annotations spanning 15 coarse-grained and 31 fine-grained clinically oriented entity types covering diseases, symptoms, diagnostics, findings, anatomy, treatments, and temporal and statistical evidence. Inter-annotator agreement reaches 81.78 exact-match F1, indicating strong annotation consistency.
