Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to transmissible spongiform encephalopathy and different alleles of the prion protein gene (PRNP) of humans and sheep are associated. A tentative association between PRNP promoter polymorphisms and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) susceptibility has been reported in German cattle, whereas none of the known polymorphisms within the bovine PRNP-coding sequence affect BSE susceptibility. In the...
