OMIA:001672-9615 : Hyperoxaluria, primary, type I (Oxalosis I) in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

In other species: sheep

Categories: Renal / urinary system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 259900 (trait) , 604285 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2012

Species-specific name: familial oxalate nephropathy

Molecular basis: Exon sequencing of the candidate gene AGXT in Coton du Tulear dogs by Vidgren et al. (2012) revealed a missense mutation to be the cause of this disorder; specifically "a single base change (c.996G>A) that changed one conserved residue (p.Gly102Ser)".

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

Clinical features: Tibetan Spaniels with type 1 primary hyperoxaluria usually present at a young age (from 5 weeks of age) with vomiting, diarrhoea, inappetence, weight loss, poor growth, depression, polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive production of urine) and may have anaemia (Jansen and Arnesen, 1990). The two affected Tibetian Spaniels were emaciated and anaemic at 7- and 9-weeks of age when they were euthanised (Jansen and Arnesen, 1990). Vidgren et al. (2012) report that in Coton de Tulear puppies onset is sudden, starting at an age of 3–4 weeks and resulted in euthanasia within a week. IT thanks DVM student Jess Hanna, who provided the basis of this contribution in May 2023

Pathology: Jansen and Arnesen (1990) report end-stage kidney lesions consistent with an oxalate nephropathy in two affected Tibetan Spaniels at 7- and 9-weeks of age. Vidgren et al. (2012) reported postmortem findings in seven affected Coton de Tulear puppies: "The only significant findings were in the kidneys, which were pale with pinpoint white foci scattered in the cortex. Numerous oxalate crystals ... were present in the tubules in the renal cortex and at the corticomedullary junction. Smaller crystals were present below the tubular epithelium. Uroliths or nephrocalcinosis were not present."

Breeds: Coton de Tulear (Dog) (VBO_0200389), Tibetan Spaniel (Dog) (VBO_0201352).

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.
