OMIA:001572-9615 : Retinal atrophy, progressive, SLC4A3-related in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 106195 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2011

Cross-species summary: This disorder has been previously renamed in OMIA on the basis of the review by Miyadera et al. (2012) and has been more recently renamed from the dog specific name 'Golden Retriever progressive retinal atrophy 1' to a cross-species name [25/11/2022].

Species-specific name: Golden Retriever PRA1, Golden Retriever progressive retinal atrophy 1

Species-specific symbol: GR_PRA1

Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on 27 affected and 19 control Swedish Golden Retrievers, each genotyped with the CanineSNP20 BeadChip (yielding 14,389 informative SNPs for analysis), Downs et al. (2011) mapped this disorder to a region on chromosome CFA37. Subsequent homozygosity mapping narrowed the region to 644kb, which contains 27 genes.

Molecular basis: By sequencing the most likely functional candidate gene from the candidate region (see Mapping section), Downs et al. (2011) identified a causal mutation as "a frame shift mutation [in SLC4A3] caused by the insertion of a single cytosine in exon 16 (c.2601_2602insC; CFA37:29,147,633). It is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in exon 18 (p.E868RfsX104) possibly resulting in degradation of the mRNA by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or a truncated protein product". Although this mutation is causal in the families in which it exists, it does not account for all cases of the disorder in this breed.

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

Breed: Golden Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200610).

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.
