Species-specific description: Besser et al. (1990) reported a congenital syndrome of long, thin limbs, severe joint and tendon laxity, microspherophakia, ectopia lentis, heart murmurs and aortic dilatation in 7 calves, where all sired by a single phenotypically normal bull suspected of germline mosaicism for a new mutation resulting in this disease. One of the calves died with ruptured aorta at age 16 months. Histopathologic and electron microscopic studies of the aortic media of these calves demonstrated disorganized elastin and narrowed elastic lamina separated by widened spaces. Parsons et al. (1992) with biochemical analyses on two calves with bovine Marfan syndrome showed that in contrast to elastin, collagen in aortae of Marfan calves was significantly higher than the mean of several controls These authors concluded that the microscopic and biochemical lesions of aortic elastin in bovine Marfan syndrome is likely due to defective microfibrillar metabolism. Absence of cystic medial necrosis in bovine Marfan aortae may explain normal elastin content in the animal model. Potter et al. 1993 reported that Bovine Marfan syndrome is closely related to its human’s counterpart in its clinical signs and pathological lesions, suggesting similar metabolic defects for its cause. Major manifestations include ectopia lentis and aortic dilatation, aneurysm, and rupture. Similar to humans, affected cows have a defect in fibrillin metabolism (Potter et al. 1994). Potter et al. 1993 suggested that the bovine Marfan syndrome, like the human disorder, is caused by a mutation in fibrillin, leading to defective microfibrillar synthesis (Mohammad Shariflou 6/11/2006).

Mapping: The cDNA sequence of the bovine FBN1 gene was characterized and somatic-cell-hybrid mapped to syntenic group U5, which corresponds to chromosome BTA10, by Tilstra et al. (1994) (Mohammad Shariflou 6/11/2006). Thue and Buchanen (2003) confirmed this result by linkage mapping a SNP in the FBN1 gene to chromosome BTA10, "10 cM from BM888 (LOD = 4.88) and 14 cM from INRA096 (LOD = 3.77)."

Molecular basis: By sequencing the cDNA of the almost certain comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous human disorder), namely FBN1, in affected Limousin calves, Singleton et al. (2005) discovered the causal mutation in this breed to be a 3598G>A transition in exon 29, resulting in a likely substitution of a glutamic acid by lysine at position 1200 as the cause of this syndrome (Mohammad Shariflou 6/11/2006). Hirano et al. (2012) reported a "G>A mutation at the intron64 splicing accepter site (c.8227-1G>A)" as being causative for Marfan disease in Japanese Black cattle. "The mutation causes a 1-base shift of the intron64 splicing accepter site to the 3′ direction, and a 1-base deletion in processed mRNA. This 1-base deletion creates a premature termination codon, and a 125-amino acid shorter Fibrillin-1 protein is produced from the mutant mRNA."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Variants

By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.

WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.

Since October 2021, OMIA includes a semiautomated lift-over pipeline to facilitate updates of genomic positions to a recent reference genome position. These changes to genomic positions are not always reflected in the ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘verbal description’ fields in this table.
