MARKER FOR DIAGNOSING FORELIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR ANOMALY IN MAMMAL INDIVIDUAL, AND DETECTION METHOD USING SAME

摘要

The present invention uses an isolated polynucleotide having a part or whole of GFRA1 gene, mutant GFRA1 protein, and mRNA encoding the mutant GFRA1 protein, each of which includes a loss-of-function mutation of GFRA1, as markers for diagnosing an animal as affected by forelimb-girdle muscular anomaly or as a carrier of forelimb-girdle muscular anomaly. In addition, an isolated polynucleotide comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of MOK2630, MOK2637, SNP B, and SNP D can be used as markers for diagnosing whether a bovine animal is affected by forelimb-girdle muscular anomaly or whether a bovine animal is a carrier of forelimb-girdle muscular anomaly.
