Abstract excerpt
In this study, genetic variability at codon 42 within prion protein (PRNP) gene and its associations with production traits were investigated in 2002 goats from four Chinese domestic breeds. The frequencies of allele "A" ranged from 0.353 to 0.562 in analyzed goat breeds with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05) except Xinong Sannen (XNSN) dairy breed. The establishment of relationships between different...
