| Codon | Polymorphisms | Number of goats |
|---|---|---|
| 142 | II | 146 (52.1%) |
| IM* | 112 (40.0%) | |
| MM* | 22 (7.9%) | |
| 211 | RR | 263 (93.9%) |
| RQ* | 17 (6.1%) | |
| 222 | 246 (87.9%) | |

associated with partial resistance to scrapie.
In total, 169 (60.4%) goats had an allele or allele combinations associated with partial resistance to scrapie.
All goat were homozygous for H at codon 143, for N at codon 146, and for R at codon 154, which are not associated with scrapie resistance.
