Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2020

Cross-species summary: Congenital lack of pigment in most parts of the body. Due to a non-functional form of the enzyme tyrosinase. Also known as Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), Acromelanism and as the Himalayan coat-colour pattern

Inheritance: Bychkova et al. (2020): "The proband’s mother, which is black-and-tan, is a heterozygous carrier of the c.230A allele".

Molecular basis: Bychkova et al. (2020): "Sequencing of the coding part of the TYR gene from the proband ["a dachshund with a unique coat color resembling the Himalayan type"] revealed a homozygous variant (c.230G > A) in exon 1, leading to an amino acid substitution (p.R77Q) in a conserved region of the protein."

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

Prevalence: Bychkova et al. (2020): "none of the 210 dogs of different breeds, unrelated to the proband, carried the c.230A allele"

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.
