Allelic frequency and genotypes of prion protein at codon 136 and 171 in Iranian Ghezel sheep breeds.

Abstract excerpt

PrP genotypes at codons 136 and 171 in one hundred twenty Iranian Ghezel sheep breeds were studied using allele-specific PCR amplification and compared with the well-known sheep breeds in North America, the United States, and Europe. The frequency of V allele and VV genotype at codon 136 of Ghezel sheep breed was significantly lower than AA and AV. At codon 171, the frequency of allele H was significantly lower...
