Variation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) sequence of wild deer in Great Britain and mainland Europe

Abstract Susceptibility to prion diseases is largely determined by the sequence of the prion protein gene (PRNP), which encodes the prion protein (PrP). The recent emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Europe has highlighted the need to investigate PRNP gene diversity in European deer specie...
