Molecular basis: Nonneman et al. (2012) reported a GWAS in a pedigree of USMARC pigs segregating for a novel stress syndrome. The scan implicated just one region, namely chromosome "SSCX at 25.1-27.7 Mb over the dystrophin gene (DMD)". A missense mutation (R1958W) in exon 41 of the dystrophin gene appears to be the causative mutation.

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

Clinical features: "The symptoms included open-mouth breathing, skin discoloration, vocalization and loss of mobility . . . sometimes resulting in death, during regular processing and weighing" (Nonneman et al., 2012)

Pathology: "Affected animals had elevated plasma creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels before and immediately after isoflurane challenge and cardiac arrhythmias. ... Histopathology of affected left ventricular cardiac tissues showed evidence of myofibrillar degeneration and necrosis .... Myocardial fibers showed loss of cross-striation, pyknotic nuclei and associated aggregation of lymphocytes. Immunoblots of heart and skeletal muscle protein from 8 week-old pigs ... showed a dramatic reduction (~50%) in dystrophin protein in affected pigs compared to normal littermates" (Nonneman et al., 2012) Hollinger et al. (2014) investigated the skeletal muscle phenotype in pigs with this variant and classified these pigs as "representative of a Becker phenotype".

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.
