History: Fujii et al. (2022) were the first to show "that genetic variants can have etiologic roles in osteochondromatosis in cats, as in humans and other animals".

Molecular basis: Fujii et al. (2022) "examined the EXT1 and EXT2 [comparative candidate] genes in a feline leukemia virus-negative cat with osteochondromatosis. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous single base pair duplication in exon 6 of the EXT1 gene (XM_023248762.2:c.1468dupC), leading to a premature stop codon in the EXT1 protein. Notably, this frameshift variant is recognized as one of the most common pathogenic variants in human osteochondromatosis."

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

Clinical features: Fujii et al. (2022): "A 1- year- old, mixed- breed, indoor- only, neutered male cat was presented with non-inf lammatory masses in multiple bones. Computed tomography revealed pro-liferative lesions in the right ulna, left humerus, right scapula, pubis and ischium".

Pathology: Fujii et al. (2022): "Histopathological examination revealed that bone and cartilage tissues (right ulna and right scapula) collected via biopsy needle did not show malignancy. FeLV antigen and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibody were absent as per the immunochromatographic test kit (One Step FIV Antibody, FeLV Antigen Test, Kyokuto Pharmaceutical Industrial Co.). In addition, FeLV proviral DNA was not detected in real-time PCR of cat whole blood conducted in IDEXX laboratories. Based on the above findings, we diagnosed this case as FeLV-negative OC."

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.
