Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2008

Cross-species summary: A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of GM1 gangliosides (a type of glycolipid) in various tissues, due to the lack of the enzyme beta-galactosidase, whose task is to break down the GM1 ganglioside into its constituents. Characterised by progressive neuromuscular dysfunction and impaired growth from an early age.

Species-specific name: beta-galactosidase-1 deficiency

Molecular basis: Martin et al. (2008) reported the causal mutation as "a G to C substitution at position 1448 of the open reading frame [of GLB1], resulting in an amino acid substitution at arginine 483, known to cause G(M1) gangliosidosis in humans". Uddin et al. (2013) identified the same mutation in two affected cats from Bangladesh, indicating that this mutation is widespread. Ueno et al. (2016) reported an affected Japanese domestic cat that did not have the only known likely causal variant, namely c.1448G>C (above), "suggesting that the cat was affected with a new variant of the feline disease".

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

Breeds: Japanese domestic, Korat (Cat) (VBO_0100143), Siamese (Cat) (VBO_0100221).

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.
