Data were recorded on animals of the INRA 401 breed from the Bourges-La Sapinière INRA experimental farm. The population consisted of 30 rams and 852 ewes which produced 1310 lambs. The animals were categorized into three PrP genotype classes ARR homozygous ARR heterozygous and animals without any ARR allele. Two analyses differing in the approach considered were carried out. Firstly the potential association of the PrP genotype with disease Salmonella resistance and production wool and carcass traits was studied. The data used included 1042 1043 and 1013 genotyped animals for the Salmonella resistance wool and carcass traits respectively. The different traits were analyzed using an animal model where the PrP genotype effect was included as a fixed effect. Association analyses do not indicate any evidence of an effect of PrP genotypes on traits studied in this breed. Secondly a quantitative trait loci QTL detection approach using the PRNP gene as a marker was applied on ovine
