Using PCR-DNA sequencing in pneumonia-affected and -resistant Baladi goats, SNPs associated with pneumonia resistance/susceptibility were found in the SLC11A1, CD-14, CCL2, TLR1, TLR7, TLR8, TLR9, β defensin, SP110, SPP1, BP1, A2M, ADORA3, CARD15, IRF3, and SCART1 genes. Here, IRF3 is linked to pneumonia.
