The PrP variant encoding lysine in codon 222 (K222) has been associated with highly significant protection from scrapie in Italian and French studies [ 14 , 15 ], whereas the codon 146 serine (S146) and 146 aspartic acid (D146) variants have been similarly associated with scrapie resistance in Cypriot herds [ 16 , 17 ].
