Association of a bovine prion gene haplotype with atypical BSE.
BACKGROUND: Atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSEs) are recently recognized prion diseases of cattle. Atypical BSEs are rare; approximately 30 cases have been identified worldwide. We tested prion gene (PRNP) haplotypes for an association with atypical BSE. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPLE FINDINGS:...
