Abstract excerpt
Host genetic factors are known to influence susceptibility to prion diseases. The prion protein gene (PRNP) contains polymorphisms associated with susceptibility across various host species. In cattle, a 23-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel) in the promoter region and a 12-bp indel in intron 1 have been associated with susceptibility to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). This study aimed to...
