Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine incidence of the Ile118Lys endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) mutation responsible for overo lethal white syndrome (OLWS) and its association with specific types of white patterning. ANIMALS: 945 horses of white-patterned bloodlines and 55 solid-colored horses of other breeds. PROCEDURE: Horses were genotyped by use of allele-specific polymerase chain reaction to determine incidence of the...
