Abstract excerpt
Prion protein (PRNP) gene has been located at position q17 of chromosome 13 in cattle. The polymorphisms of PRNP gene might be associated with BSE susceptibility. In the present work, we investigated the polymorphisms of PRNP gene, including SNP in exon 3, 23-bp indel in promoter region, 12-bp indel in intron 1 in 2 Chinese indigenous cattle breeds of northeast China. Eighty-six animals from Yanbian (34) and...
