摘要: A single nucleotide substitution (c.-6-180T>G) associated with resistance to phenobarbital therapy has been found in the canine MDR1/ABCB1 gene Border Collies idiopathic epilepsy. In present study, a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was developed for genotyping this mutation, and survey carried out population of 472 Japan determine current allele frequency. The demonstrated frequencies T/T wild type, T/G heterozygote, G/G mutant homozygote be 60.0%, 30.3%, 9.8%, respectively, indicating that frequency G is extremely high (24.9%) Collies. results suggest mutation likely cause prevalence phenobarbital-resistant epilepsy
