OMIA:001534-9031 : Resistance/susceptibility to myxovirus in Gallus gallus (chicken)

Categories: Immune system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 147150 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2002

Species-specific symbol: Mx

Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on knowledge that the Mx gene product inhibits virus repliaction in other species), Ko et al. (2002) reported that a missense polymorphism at position 631 (Ser to Asn) of the chicken Mx gene confers susceptibility/resistance respectively, to viruses in chickens. The MX gene is now known as MX1.

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

Associated gene:

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.
