Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and identification of candidate genes for prion disease incubation in mice
Prion diseases are progressive neurodegenerative diseases which show characteristic prolonged incubation periods. Polymorphisms in the prion protein gene are known to influence incubation time but additional genetic loci have also been identified by quantitative trait locus mapping studies in mice....
