Cross-species summary: Goitre is the enlargement of the thyroid gland, causing a swelling in the front of the neck. The condition can develop due to nutritional iodine deficiencies but familial forms of this disorder have been identified in several species. The molecular basis been determined for familial goitre in cattle and goats. Also spelt goiter.

Species-specific description: In Dutch goats, this disorder is due to a nonsense mutation in the thyroglobulin gene.

Molecular basis: Veenboer and de Vijlder (1993) reported the causal mutation in the goat TG gene as being "a C-->G point mutation [at nucleotide 945] in exon 8 causing a change from TAC (Tyr)-->TAG (termination signal) at amino acid position 296."

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

Genetic testing: The causal mutation creates a KpnI recognition site, thereby providing a genotyping test based on the causal mutation (Veenboer and de Vijlder, 1993).

Breed: Nederlandse Landgeit, Netherlands (Goat) (VBO_0009749).

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.
