Species-specific name: Congenital stationary night blindness

Species-specific symbol: CSNB

Species-specific description: Kondo et al. (2015) reported "a naturally occurring disease in the beagle dog that is a model for autosomal recessive [complete Congenital Stationary Night Blindness] cCSNB in man" Miyadera et al. (2022) and Takahashi et al. (2023) report extended functional rescue following subretinal gene therapy.

Inheritance: Kondo et al. (2015): "o define the inheritance pattern for the disease, a colony of beagle dogs with CSNB was developed from 3 founder animals (F5858, M4 and M6233), and expanded by outcross, backcross and intercross to produce affected (n = 24) and obligate carrier (n = 22) dogs . . . . Dominant inheritance was excluded as the progeny (n = 11), both male and female, were phenotypically normal when affected dogs were outcrossed to unrelated normal dogs (expected = 5-6/11 dogs affected; observed = 0/11). When the progeny was used in backcrosses to affected animals, they produced affected and non-affected offspring in approximately 1:1 ratio as expected for an autosomal recessive disease. X-linked inheritance was ruled out as both sexes were affected in the pedigree. Eight of the nineteen offspring produced as a result of mating between obligate carrier and affected dogs had the CSNB phenotype. Mating between affected dogs resulted in pups all of which had the CSNB phenotype. These results are consistent with autosomal recessive mode of inheritance."

Mapping: Das et al. (2019): "A genome-wide association study using 12 cases and 11 controls from a research colony determined a 4.6 Mb locus on canine chromosome 32"

Molecular basis: Sequencing of candidate genes by Kondo et al. (2015) failed to reveal any likely causal mutations. Das et al. (2019): "whole-genome sequencing identified a 1 bp deletion in LRIT3 segregating with CSNB [in the same Beagle colony as reported by Kondo et al. (2015)]. The canine mutant LRIT3 gives rise to a truncated protein with unaltered subcellular expression in vitro"

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

Clinical features: Kondo et al. (2015) reported "Affected dogs had normal retinas on clinical examination, but showed no detectable rod responses. They had “negative-type” mixed rod and cone responses in full-field ERGs. Their photopic long-flash ERGs had normal OFF-responses associated with severely reduced ON-responses. The phenotype is similar to the Schubert-Bornschein form of complete CSNB in humans."

Breed: Beagle (Dog) (VBO_0200131).

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.
