We studied a family with nine of twenty members affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A). The proband and her four affected sibs showed no duplication of the 17p11.2-p12 (CMT region). Two of the proband's affected daughters and three affected grandchildren showed duplication of the PMP-22 gene and of the marker VAW409R3 but not of the markers VAW412R3 and EW401. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed a 220 kb SacII fragment in one CMT1A patient with duplication instead of a 500 kb SacII fragment as previously reported (1, 3, 4, 6-9). Our findings suggest a smaller size of the duplication in this CMT1A family. The disease segregates with the same haplotype in both duplicated and nonduplicated CMT1A patients. The clinical phenotype showed more severe weakness with earlier onset and motor nerve conduction velocities were characterized by more significant slowing in the patients with duplication than in the patients who did not show duplication.

Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay, Türkiye.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on milk production traits in Kilis dairy goats by analyzing the genotypes of , , , , and genes and their association with lactation milk yield (LMY), lactation length (LL) and average daily milk yield (ADMY). Blood samples were collected from 227 goats, and genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results revealed that the frequencies of the genotypes varied among the genes.

Background And Aim: Pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 () encodes a multifunctional transcription factor that controls many genes and pathways and is associated with cattle body weight and measurements. This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms with body weight and measurements in Bali cattle.
Materials And Methods: A total of 87 Bali cattle, consisting of 48 bulls and 39 heifers at the Breeding Center for Bali Cattle, were used as the population in this study.

GyrB PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) could be applied to diagnose bovine and human tuberculosis and detect the causative agent. The lymph nodes and lungs from 50 cattle positive in tuberculin skin test were examined by histopathology and PCR-RFLP of a 1020-bp fragment of the gyrB gene. Swab smear samples from the nasal cavity, pleural, and abdominal cavities were also evaluated by cytological methods.

The present study utilizes polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis using partial plastid and mitochondrial gene sequences to distinguish the six representative species produced via mariculture in Korea. The , , and sequences of 15 species from the NCBI database were aligned to determine specific restriction enzyme sites of the six species. To confirm the presence of restriction sites of eight enzymes, PCR amplicons were digested as follows: a 556 bp fragment within the region of chloroplast DNA was confirmed in using I, whereas 111I, II, I, and AI enzymes produced fragments of 664, 271, 600, and 510 bp, respectively, from the region of mitochondrial DNA in , , , and .
