Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a procedure for routine genotyping of Shorthorn cattle for the generalised glycogenosis allele in exon 18 of the acidic alpha-glucosidase gene. PROCEDURE: Allele-specific amplification and double mismatch amplification procedures for the discrimination of the exon 18 alleles were evaluated using leucocytes and hair roots as sources of target DNA. RESULTS: Allele-specific amplification was...
