Categories: Homeostasis / metabolism phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 205400 (trait) , 600046 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Z-linked recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2002

Species-specific name: Wisconsin hypoalpha mutant (WHAM)

Mapping: Bitgood (1985) and Bitgood (1988) reported loose linkage of the WHAM locus to loci B and ID on the chicken Z chromosome. Fridolfsson et al. (1998) showed that this region contains the genes ALDOB and MUSK, which were physically mapped to Zq1.5-1.6, which is homologous with human HSA9q22.3–q32.

Molecular basis: The causal mutation for this disorder was identified via a comparative positional cloning approach (as described in the Mapping section above, the locus was mapped to a region of the chicken Z chromosome (GGAZ) that is homologous to human HSA9q22.3-32, which includes the gene ABCA1, mutations in which cause Tangier disease, which is similar to this chicken disorder). Sequencing of the chicken ABCA1 gene by Attie et al. (2002) revealed the causal mutation as "a missense mutation [G265A] near the N-terminus of the protein (E89K)". The authors reported that "This alteration is a non-conservative amino acid substitution at a residue that is conserved in the ABCA1 gene between human, mouse, chicken, and Takifugu rubripes (“fugu”)".

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.
