OMIA:002780-9615 : Ataxia, spastic, SACS-related in Canis lupus familiaris (dog) |
Categories: Nervous system phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 270550 (trait) , 604490 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases:
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Considered a defect: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2023
Cross-species summary: Also called spastic ataxia of the Charlevoix-Saguenay type (SACS, ARSACS)
Mapping: Ekenstedt et al. (2023): "Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data was collected from 6 [affected Great Pyrenees] cases and 26 controls, where homozygosity mapping identified a 3.3 Mb region on CFA25 in which all cases were homozygous and all controls were either heterozygous or homozygous for alternate haplotypes."
Molecular basis: Ekenstedt et al. (2023): "Sanger sequencing of the [positional and functional candidate gene] SACS in affected [Great Pyrenees] dogs identified a 4 bp deletion that causes a frame shift and truncates 343 amino acids from the C terminus of the encoded sacsin protein (p.Val4244AlafsTer32)."
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
Clinical features: Ekenstedt et al. (2023) report disease in Great Pyrenees dogs characterised by "central nervous system degeneration leading to progressive cerebellar ataxia and spasticity, combined with peripheral neuropathy. Onset of clinical signs occurred in puppies as young as 4 months of age, with slow progression over several years."
Pathology: Ekenstedt et al. (2023): "Histopathology revealed consistent cerebellar Purkinje cell degeneration, neuronal degeneration in brainstem nuclei, widespread spinal cord white matter degeneration, ganglion cell degeneration, inappropriately thin myelin sheaths or fully demyelinated peripheral nerve fibers, and normal or only mild patterns of denervation atrophy in skeletal muscles."
Breed:
Great Pyrenees (Dog) (VBO_0200629).

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.
