The evaluation of 23-bp and 12-bp insertion/deletion within the PRNP gene and their effects on growth traits in healthy Chinese native cattle breeds

The evaluation of 23-bp and 12-bp insertion/deletion within the PRNP gene and their effects on growth traits in healthy Chinese native cattle breeds

Polymorphisms in the prion protein gene (PRNP) have been linked with the occurrence of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and the expression of some phenotypic traits in healthy animals including cattle. The aim of this study was to verify the 23-bp insertion/deletion (indel) within promoter...
