Healy P J, Dennis J A
Abstract excerpt
In Poll Herefords, it is known that maple syrup urine disease results from a nonsense mutation in codon -6 of the gene for the E1 alpha subunit of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase. The disease also occurs in Poll Shorthorns, but its molecular basis in this breed has not yet been deter...
