OMIA:000245-9615 : Curly coat in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

In other species: domestic cat , horse

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 608245 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2009

Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on 31 curly-hair and 41 wavy-hair Portugese Water dogs, each genotyped with an Affymetrix Version 2 Canine SNP chip (yielding 56,395 informative SNPs for analysis), Cadieu et al. (2009) highlighted a region on chromosome CFA27.

Molecular basis: Fine-mapping and subsequent sequencing within the candidate region on CFA27 (see Mapping section) enabled Cadieu et al. (2009) to identify the causal mutation as a missense SNP (Arg151Trp) in the KRT71 gene. In adjacent papers published online just three days apart, Bauer et al. (2019) and Salmela et al. (2019) independently reported a second likely causal variant (c.1266_1273delinsACA) in Curly Coated Retrievers, a breed with curly coats but which does not have the previously-known variant, c.451C>T.

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

Prevalence: Bauer et al. (2019) "found that the [c.1266_1273delinsACA] variant was fixed in a cohort of 125 Curly Coated Retrievers and segregating in five of 14 additionally tested breeds with a curly or wavy coat". Salmela et al. (2019): "The [c.1266_1273delinsACA] variant was also found at lower frequencies in five other breeds, including Lagotto Romagnolo, Bichon Frise, Spanish Water Dog, Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Irish Terrier." These authors also reported that "One curly-coated Lagotto carried neither of the two KRT71 variants", indicating that not all the likely causal variants have yet been discovered.

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.
