Cross-species summary: The name of this entry has been created in line with the new expanded classification system for canine cystinuria suggested by Brons et al. (2013): "type I cystinuria when the disease shows autosomal recessive inheritance, type II when it shows autosomal dominant inheritance, and type III for sex-limited inheritance. . . . Involvement of the SLC3A1 gene is indicated by adding A, and similarly B indicates mutations in SLC7A9".

Inheritance: Brons et al. (2013) provided evidence consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.

Molecular basis: Using the direct candidate gene strategy, based on clinical signs, Brons et al. (2013) identified "a single base missense mutation (c.964G>A) [in SLC7A9] changing the small hydrophobic glycine residue to the larger, charged basic amino acid arginine (p.Gly322Arg) in transmembrane domain 9 of the light subunit bo,+AT" as causal in Miniature Pinschers. A SLC7A9 variant (c.649A>G; p.(A217T) has been identified by Harnevik et al. (2006) in English bulldogs, but there appears to be no support for the variant to be causal (Harnevik et al., 2006; Ruggerone et al., 2016; Fitzwilliams et al. 2023). It appears that all affected English bulldogs in these three studies were also homozygous for two likely causal SLC3A1 variants (p.(I192V) and p.(S698G) (see OMIA:000256-9615 : Cystinuria, type I - A in Canis lupus familiaris). The affected dogs were reported to be also either heterozygous or homozygous for the SLC7A9 variant (Harnevik et al., 2006; Ruggerone et al., 2016, Fitzwilliams et al. 2023), which according to Fitzwilliams et al. (2023) is a common allele in the breed (allele frequency for c.649A is 0.52 in English bulldogs from Denmark). The data presented by Fitzwilliams et al. (2023) showed that 10 out of 14 non cystinuric male dogs were heterozygous or homozygous for the A allele. Fitzwilliams et al. (2023) strongly recommend not to use "the variant in SLC7A9 as a test to predict the risk of developing cystinuria in male English bulldogs.”

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

Clinical features: As summarised by Brons et al. (2013), cystinuria type II - B is characterised by: occurs in males and females; not androgen-dependent; COLA [μmol/g creatinine (normal ≤500)] ≥ 700 in heterozygotes.

Breed: Miniature Pinscher (Dog) (VBO_0200893).

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.
