Species-specific description: Exercise-induced collapse (EIC) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by exercise intolerance in otherwise healthy young adult dogs. Clinical signs are precipitated by strenuous exercise. A causative mutation in dynamin 1 has been identified in retriever breeds listed below, but not yet in Border Collies. [Edited by Vicki N. Meyers-Wallen, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACT in 2011; revised by FN 29 Oct 2020]

History: EIC was first identified in Labrador Retrievers (Taylor et al., 2008).

Inheritance: Exercise-induced callapse in Labrador retrievers is a Mendelian trait. Norton et al. (2021) concluded that the disease in border collies (BCC) is a moderately- to highly-heritable complex polygenetic disease.

Mapping: A genome-wide scan with 459 microsatellites in six families of Labrador Retrievers mapped the disorder to 60.4Mb on CFA9 (Patterson et al., 2008) Norton et al. (2021) aimed to "estimate the heritability (h2SNP) of BCC [Border Collie Collapse], define its underlying genetic architecture, and identify associated genomic loci using dense whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping data. Genotype data were obtained for ~440,000 SNPs from 343 border collies (168 BCC cases and 175 controls). ... Genome-wide association analyses identified significantly associated loci on chromosomes 1, 6, 11, 20, and 28, which accounted for ~5% of the total BCC h2SNP."

Molecular basis: The causative mutation in Labrador retrievers, Chesapeake Bay retrievers and curly-coated retrievers is a G to T substitution in exon 6 that changes the amino acid codon from arginine to leucine (R256L) in a highly conserved region of DNM1 (Patterson et al., 2008).

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

Clinical features: Affected dogs have normal muscle mass, normal patellar reflexes before an episode of EIC, normal findings on muscle biopsy and are capable of moderate exertion without showing signs (Taylor et al., 2008, Patterson et al., 2008). Signs begin within 2 minutes after cessation of 5 to 15 minutes of strenuous exercise. Affected dogs develop a wobbly gait with hindlimb weakness and incoordination, wide based stance, and walking with crouched hind legs. Signs can progress to full body weakness, extensor rigidity, confusion, loss of consciousness, and rarely death. Episodes frequently last 5-10 minutes, often with complete recovery after 30 minutes. Loss of patellar reflexes persists after initial recovery.

Pathology: Dynamin 1 is a type of GTPase that facilitates continuous neurotransmission across synapses. At the presynaptic terminal membrane, it assists in release of membrane vesicles containing neurotransmitter, which is needed for continuous synaptic communication (Patterson et al 2008). During high intensity exercise, DNM1 activity is inadequate to maintain synaptic transmission, which causes reversible loss of motor function (Patterson et al., 2008).

Prevalence: In a population of 400 Labrador Retrievers from the Midwestern US, 37% were carriers and 3% were homozygous for the causative mutation. This suggests a high frequency of this mutation in Labrador Retrievers. Homozygous Labrador Retrievers have also been found in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia (Patterson et al., 2008).

Control: It is recommended that working dogs or those showing signs be tested, as well as relatives of affected dogs. Breeding of homozygous dogs should be avoided. Breeding of carriers to noncarriers will avoid production of affected dogs. [updated 29 Oct 2020, with thanks to Frank Coopman]

Genetic testing: A test is available to detect carriers and homozygotes (Patterson et al, 2008).

Breeds: Border Collie (Dog) (VBO_0200193), Boykin Spaniel (Dog) (VBO_0200214), Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200326), Curly Coated Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200397), Labrador Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200800).

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.
