Breeding for resistance to scrapie: Detection of polymorphisms in the prion protein gene in German sheep breeds
Scrapie is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of sheep and goats belonging to the group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). TSEs are characterised by distinctive pathology, the involvement of a hostencoded prion protein (PrP) in disease development and genetic control of susceptibility. Polymorphisms in three different codons of the ovine prion protein (PrP) gene (136, 154, 171) ...
متن کاملGenotyping of PRNP coding region for scrapie in Indian sheep
Prions are unprecedented infectious pathogens that cause a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease by an entirely novel mechanism. The conformational change in prion proteins results in a change from a predominantly α-helical protein to a β-sheet form, which causes scrapie in sheep and goat. The present study was carried out to identify polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PrP) ...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of GDF9 Gene in Bahmaei and Lak Ghashghaei Sheep Breeds and Its Association with Litter Size
Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) belong to the superfamily of transforming growth factor β that is highly expressed in growing ovarian follicles of oocyte, and it has been strongly related to fecundity traits in sheep. Therefore, the GDF9 gene could serve as a genetic marker for improvement of reproductive performance in sheep. Therefore, the aim of this study was to invest...
متن کاملPolymorphism of sheep POU1F1 gene exon 6 and 3'UTR region and their association with milk production traits
The purpose of the study was to detect the AluI and DdeI polymorphisms within POU1F1 gene exon 6 and 3'UTR region in Turkish sheep breeds, and their association with milk productive traits. Jugular blood samples were collected from 50 Sakiz, 50 White Karaman, and 50 Awassi sheep using EDTA as an anticoagulant. PCR-RFLP and sequencing analysis were performed to investigate possible polymorphisms...
متن کاملPrion protein gene (PrP) polymorphisms in healthy sheep in Turkey.
Scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) or prion disease, is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease in sheep and goats. This disease has been known in Europe for more than 250 years. Susceptibility to scrapie is associated with polymorphisms in the sheep prion protein gene (PrP) gene. In sheep, polymorphism in the PrP gene has been identified at a number of codons, and polymorphism...
