Association analysis of PRNP gene region with chronic wasting disease in Rocky Mountain elk

Abstract

The presence of 132L cut odds of CWD by more than half (Odds Ratio = 0.43; P = 0.0031), which was similar to a previous report. However after accounting for 132L, no association with CWD was found for any additional variants in the PRNP region (P > 0.05).
