Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods are provided for determining whether or not a horse is genetically normal, is a carrier of, or is affected with or predisposed to Congenital Stationary Night Blindness and/or leopard complex spotting. The method is based on detection of an insertion in an intron in the horse Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily M, Member 1 (TRPM1) gene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of screening for, diagnosing or detecting congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) or detecting or selecting different coat patterns in a horse comprising: (a) amplifying a sample from a the horse with three primers to identify the presence of an insertion of SEQ ID NO: 1 in the TRPM1 gene after position 108,297,929 of horse chromosome 1 (ECA1), wherein the primers are SEQ ID NOs: 2-4 and (b) identifying the horse as a true solid coat co…
