Species-specific description: Neuroaxonal dystrophy in Papillon dogs was fist reported in 1995 in England [Franklin et al., 19851], and has since been reported in several other countries. Tsuboi et al. (2017) identified the likely causal variant.

Molecular basis: Tsuboi et al. (2017): PLA2G6 c.1579G>A; p.T526A

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

Clinical features: Tsuboi et al. (2017) investigated three affected Papillon dogs: "The affected dogs initially developed intention tremor and hypermetria at a very young age, and the symptoms gradually progressed to cerebellar ataxia, tetraplegia, blindness, and deafness." Onset of disease was between 13-16 weeks of age and death occurred between 7 to 8 month of age.

Pathology: Tsuboi et al. (2017) investigated three affected Papillon dogs: "Histopathologically, multiple spheroid formation is observed throughout the central nervous system, including the cerebrum, hippocampus, thalamus, mesencephalon, cerebellum, pons, medulla oblongata, and dorsal horn of the spinal cord, while the peripheral nerves are generally unaffected."

Prevalence: Raj and Giger (2020): "Archived samples from Papillons clinically diagnosed with NAD prior to 2015 as well as samples obtained from 660 Papillons from North America and Europe between 2015 and 2017 were screened for the presence of this PLA2G6 gene variant (XM_022424454.1:c.1579G > A) ... .17.5% of the 660 tested Papillons were heterozygotes, resulting in a variant allele frequency of 0.092 in this initial survey. Since then, screening for NAD in Papillons by at least 10 other laboratories and data from the Health Committee of Papillon Club of America gathered between 2017 and 2019 reveal a variant allele frequency of 0.047."

Breed: Papillon (Dog) (VBO_0200985).

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.
