Absence of Strong Genetic Linkage Disequilibrium between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Prion Protein Gene (<i>PRNP</i>) and the Prion-Like Protein Gene (<i>PRND</i>) in the Horse, a Prion-Resistant Species

Absence of Strong Genetic Linkage Disequilibrium between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Prion Protein Gene (<i>PRNP</i>) and the Prion-Like Protein Gene (<i>PRND</i>) in the Horse, a Prion-Resistant Species

Prion disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by a deleterious prion protein (PrP<sup>Sc</sup>). However, prion disease has not been reported in horses during outbreaks of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in various animals in the UK. In previous studies, sin...
