OMIA:002028-9615 : Myeloperoxidase deficiency in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Haematopoietic system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 254600 (trait) , 606989 (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: 2016

Species-specific symbol: MPOD

History: The report by Gentilini et al. (2016) of one affected Italian hound is the first published report of this inherited disorder in any non-laboratory animals species.

Inheritance: Since the report by Gentilini et al. (2016) involved just one dog from a local dog shelter, they were not able to provide any direct evidence on inheritance. However, given that this disorder involves homozygosity for an allele at a locus encoding an enzyme, the disorder is most likely to be autosomal recessive.

Molecular basis: Gentilini et al. (2016): "a homozygous c.1987C>T (Ensembl transcript ID: ENSCAFT00000027699) or c.1753C>T (Ensembl transcript ID: ENSCAFT00000049922) [nonsense] substitution, which results in a premature termination codon (p.663Arg*) in the superoxide domain" of the gene encoding myeloperoxidase (MPO).

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

Pathology: Gentilini et al. (2016): "During routine examinations, we identified a 12-year-old Italian hound dog from the local dog shelter that despite the absence of any evident symptoms of the underlying disease showed primary MPOD in the polymorphonuclear leucocytes and monocytes. This was evident from a complete blood count on an ADVIA 2120 Siemens Analyser with automated MPO staining for differentiation of white blood cells. In typical staining scattergrams, MPO-positive cells, such as neutrophils and monocytes, are clustered within specified areas demarcated by thresholds. The affected dog showed a scattergram typical for MPOD deficiency in humans with all white blood cells consistently aligned on the left in the large unstained cell area. To confirm the diagnosis, the complete blood count was repeated once a month for three consecutive months with identical findings"

Breed: Italian Hound (Dog) (VBO_0200714).

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.
