Genetic variability of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in thin-tailed and fat-tailed sheep

Background: Scrapie is a deadly neurodegenerative transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects sheep and goats. TSEs are a consequence of polymorphisms of the prion protein gene PRNP, which result in misfolded prion proteins. They are transmitted through contact with the abnormal prot...
