<i>PRNP</i> Polymorphisms in Eight Local Goat Populations/Breeds from Central and Southern Italy
In goats, as in sheep, genotypes of the prion protein gene (<i>PRNP</i>) can influence animals’ susceptibility to scrapie. Since the polymorphic codons in sheep are well known, a genetic selection plan has been implemented in Europe, in order to reduce the prevalence of susceptible genot...
