Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on "33 wire-haired, 34 smooth coat, and 29 long-haired" Dachsunds, each genotyped with an Affymetrix Version 2 Canine SNP chip (yielding 51,071 informative SNPs for analysis), Cadieu et al. (2009) highlighted a region on chromosome CFA13. By conducting a mammoth proof-of-principle GWAS on "4 breeds with furnishings (a coat type with moustache and eyebrows . . . ) compared to 42 without them", with each dog being genotyped with Illumina CanineHD array (yielding 157,393 SNPs for analysis) developed for this study, Vaysse et al. (2011) confirmed the results of Cadieu et al. (2009) by highlighting a region between 10.42 and 11.68Mb on chromosome CFA13. Specifically, "The most strongly associated SNP is at 11,678,731 (Pgenome<0.001), 44 kb from the causative SNP previously identified in RSPO2".

Molecular basis: Fine-mapping of the CFA13 candidate region (see Mapping section) narrowed the region to a 238kb segment containg only one gene, namely RSPO2, a likely functional candidate gene. Sequencing of this gene identified the causal mutation as a 167bp insertion "within the 3′UTR at position 11,634,766", which leads to a threefold increase in transcription of RSPO2 in muzzle skin of dogs with furnishings (Cadieu et al., 2009).

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.
