Perhaps more plausibly, pressures to retain certain PRNP haplotypes (actually the common ARQ haplotype that is found to confer heightened susceptibility to common scrapie isolates, versus resistance-associated ARR or AHQ haplotypes of PRNP) may reflect selective advantages acting at the time of birth or during early postnatal life [8].
