Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms that have been proven to influence gene functions are called functional polymorphisms. It is significant to know the distribution of functional polymorphisms in the rat, widely used in animal models for human diseases. In this study, we assessed 16 functional polymorphisms consisting of 3 coat color and 13 disease-associated genes in 136 rat strains, as a part of the genetic profiling program of the...
