Cross-species summary: Vitamin D dependent rickets type 2A (VDDR-2A), also called hereditary vitamin-D resistant rickets (HVDRR), is caused in many species by mutations in the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene.
Molecular basis: Habacher et al. (2023) investigated a domestic longhair kitten with rickets. Whole-exome sequencing identified a "cytosine deletion at cat chromosome position B4:76777621 in VDR (ENSFCAT00000029466:c.106delC)". The variant was "predicted to cause a stop codon in exon 2 (p.Arg36Glufs*18), disrupting >90% of the receptor. The variant was unique and homozygous in this patient and absent in the sibling and approximately 400 other cats ... ."
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
Clinical features: Habacher et al. (2023) investigated a "14-week-old female domestic longhair kitten presented for shifting lameness and reluctance to jump. The kitten was substantially smaller (approximately 50% the size) than its male littermate. ... The afflicted kitten had marked hypocalcemia, mild hypophosphatemia and substantial elevations in alkaline phosphatase activity, as well as pathognomonic radiographic findings consistent with rickets. ... Endocrine testing demonstrated significant increases in serum concentrations of PTH and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol), supporting a diagnosis of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2."

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.
