Radiation hybrid mapping of genes and newly identified microsatellites in candidate regions for bovine arthrogryposis-palatoschisis and progressive ataxia based on comparative data from man, mouse and rat.

Abstract excerpt

A comparative pathology and mapping strategy was used to initiate a study on two bovine genetic diseases: arthrogryposis-palatoschisis and progressive ataxia, which affect mainly Charolais cattle. Bibliographic studies provided information on the pathology of these diseases, which helped to define similar diseases in other species. Animals affected by bovine arthrogryposis-palatoschisis display similar symptoms...
