Species-specific name: CalDAG-GEFI thrombopathia; CalDAG-GEFI platelet disorder

Species-specific description: Boudreaux et al. (2007) reported likely causal variants in Calcium-Diacylglycerol Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor I (CalDAG-GEFI). Based on NCBI information the gene name was listed as RASGRP1 gene in OMIA. A recent BLAST search of the published data identified that the correct gene name is RASGRP2. Information from OMIA 001003-9615 'Thrombopathia in Canis lupus familiaris' was moved to this entry and variant table information was updated accordingly [22/01/2022].

Molecular basis: Boudreaux et al. (2007) reported this disorder in three breeds being due to three different mutations in the RASGRP2 gene that encodes Calcium-Diacylglycerol Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor I (CalDAG-GEFI): Eskimo Spitz dogs have frameshift mutation (452-453insA), Bassett Hounds have a three-base deletion (509-511delTCT), and Landseers have a nonsense mutation (982C>T).

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

Clinical features: Variants in the gene that encodes CalDAG-GEFI cause decreased fibrinogen receptor activation (Cortese et al., 2020) and severely impaired or absent platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate, collagen, and platelet activating factor (Boudreaux et al., 2007). There is also a delayed but full response to thrombin (Boudreaux, 2012). The clot retraction assay is normal (Boudreaux, 2012), but the kinetics are impaired – the time to full aggregation is prolonged to 4-6min compared to 3min in unaffected dogs (Cortese et al., 2020). Clinically, affected dogs experience epistaxis, gingival bleeding and petechiation on mucous membranes and skin, and prolonged bleeding time (Boudreaux et al., 2007). Platelet counts and coagulation screening tests will have normal results (Boudreaux, 2012). Some affected Basset Hounds may present with weakness and rear limb paralysis secondary to spinal cord haemorrhage (Boudreaux, 2012). IT thanks DVM student Jovial Zheng, who provided the basis of this contribution in May 2023.

Breeds: Basset Hound (Dog) (VBO_0200126), Landseer (Dog) (VBO_0200809), obsolete Eskimo Spitz (Dog) (VBO_0200507).

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.
