Cross-species summary: PDH deficiency.

Species-specific description: Deficiency in pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1 in Clumber and Sussex Spaniels is characterized by exercise intolerance, lactic acidosis, and collapse after exercise. The causative mutation is the same in these breeds. Edited by Vicki N. Meyers-Wallen, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACT

Mapping: CFA (29)

Molecular basis: Cameron et al. (2007): c.754C>T; p.Q252* in Clumber spaniels and Sussex spaniels

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

Clinical features: Affected dogs show exercise intolerance, lactic acidosis, and post-exercise collapse. Management includes exercise restriction and a high-fat diet with thiamine and carnitine supplementation (Cameron et al., 2007).

Pathology: PDP1 is a key component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) that controls the rate of tricarboxylic acid entry into the citric acid cycle. During exercise, large quantities of lactate and pyruvate are generated through the anaerobic pathway. PDP1 deficiency causes severe reduction in pyruvate entry into the citric acid cycle, leading to insufficient generation of ATP and lactate and pyruvate acidosis when muscle is exercised (Cameron et al., 2007).

Prevalence: Of 100 Clumber Spaniels tested, 20 were carriers and 1 was homozygous for the mutation. There is thought to be a high frequency of heterozygotes amongst Clumber Spaniels, but fewer affected dogs alive than expected. This suggests that affected dogs may be at risk for prenatal or neonatal mortality (Cameron et al., 2007).

Control: Since the Clumber and Sussex Spaniel gene pools are small in the USA, gradual elimination of the mutation can be achieved by testing all dogs prior to breeding, and to breeding carriers only to noncarriers. Breeding of affected dogs should be avoided.

Genetic testing: There is a test available to identify carrier and affected dogs.

Breeds: Clumber Spaniel (Dog) (VBO_0200366), Sussex Spaniel (Dog) (VBO_0201309).

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.
