  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY, RESISTANCE, OR TOLERANCE TO INFECTION BY MYCOBACTERIA AND BOVINE PARATUBERCULOSIS
    Publication number: 20100223687
    Abstract: Provided are methods for determining resistance or tolerance of a subject to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) infection, comprising determining, a presence or absence of a mutation, or the genotype of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within Map infection linkage disequilibrium region SEQ ID NO:46 that segregates with resistance or tolerance to Map infection, or determining a presence or absence of a mutation or a genotype of a SNP within a Map infection linkage disequilibrium region (SEQ ID NO:1) that is in linkage disequilibrium therewith, and determining, based thereon, susceptibility, resistance or tolerance of the subject to Map infection. In particular aspects, a presence or absence of a mutation, or the genotype of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within at least one gene selected from the group consisting of HIVEP3; EDN2; and LOC521287 that segregates with resistance or tolerance to Map tissue infection is determined.
