Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in four regions of the bovine prion protein gene (PRNP) confer susceptibility to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). These polymorphisms include a 23-bp insertion/deletion (indel) in the promoter region, a 12-bp indel in intron 1, an octapeptide repeat or 24-bp indel in the open reading frame, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the coding region. In this study, we investigated the...
