Polymorphisms were present at codon 96 including GS and SS genotypes, but other loci were the same as the published consensus sequence.
PRNPψ denotes the prion precursor protein pseudogene; Ref = Genbank AF156185.
A = alanine, G = Glycine, I = isoleucine, N = asparagine, S = serine, Q = glutamine, NE: not examined.
*Denotes silent change aat/aac at codon 146 and atc/att at codon 185.
