Categories: Vision / eye phene
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant
Considered a defect: yes
Key variant known: no
Cross-species summary: Opacity of the lens of the eye.
Species-specific name: Ovine Heritable Cataract (OHC)
History: This disorder was first described in two papers by Brooks et al. (1982).
Mapping: A genome scan conducted by Wilson et al. (2012) mapped the disorder to "between 131.1 and 131.8 cM from the centromere" on chromosome OAR6.
Molecular basis: A positional candidate gene (NUDT9) was shown to not contain the causative mutation (Wilson et al., 2012).
