Cross-species summary: Congenital blistering skin disease characterized by separation of the lamina lucida of the basement membrane zone. Blisters often occur in and around the mouth and on the limbs, leading in the latter case to separation of the hoof or nail from the corium (dermis).

Mapping: An 8.3 Mb region on chromosome BTA24 (Sartelet et al., 2015).

Molecular basis: In four Belgian Blue calves, Sartelet et al. (2015) identified the causal mutation as a nonsense mutation [c.7825C>T] "in the LAMA3 gene that creates a premature stop codon (p.Arg2609*) in exon 60, truncating 22% of the corresponding protein".

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

Clinical features: As reported by Sartelet et al. (2015), "In the [four] Belgian Blue cases, the main clinical symptoms, present at birth, were the following: extensive skin blistering predominantly located at pressure points and on limb extremities and articulations, hoof exungulation with erythema and multiple mucosal ulcerations in the oral cavity and on the tongue".

Breed: Belgian Blue (Cattle) (VBO_0000139).

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.
