Source/description: Recently, a genome scan has revealed chromosomal regions associated with porcine hernia inguinalis/scrotalis on SSC3, 6, 7, 12 and 15. In humans, it has been proposed that the smooth muscles around the processus vaginalis must undergo apoptosis to prevent congenital herniation. In subsequent studies we successfully assigned genes involved in apoptosis to the regions. Here we report the identification and linkage mapping of region-specific STS markers.
