Five Novel PRNP Gene Polymorphisms and Their Potential Effect on Scrapie Susceptibility in Three Native Ethiopian Sheep Breeds
2020-04-16
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background </bold>Classical scrapie susceptibility in sheep has been linked to three polymorphisms at codon 136, 154, and 171 in the prion protein gene (<italic>PRNP)</italic> whereas atypical scrapie susceptibility is related to polymorphisms at codon 141. Many other variants over the length of the <italic>PRNP</italic> have been reported. Some of the variants may play crucial ro...
