Cross-species summary: Also called Pompe disease, Pompe's disease, acid maltase deficiency, and generalised glycogenesis type II. A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of glycogen, due to the lack of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, whose task is to break down glycogen into its constituent glucose molecules. Characterised by poor growth, incoordination, muscle weakness and eventual recumbency.

Mapping: 19q15

Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous human disorder), Dennis et al. (2000) identified two causal mutations in Brahman cattle, namely a frameshifting 2-bp deletion (c.1057delTA; the "E7" mutation) and a nonsense mutation (c.1783C>T; p.Arg595Ter; the "E13" mutation) in the bovine GAA gene; and a 2-bp frameshifting deletion (c.2454delCA; the "E18" mutation) in Shorthorns.

Prevalence: Lyons et al. (2017) reported the presence of the E7 variant in Droughtmaster cattle (a composite breed with some Brahman contribution) at a frequency of 3.4% in their sample of 859 cattle genotyped. These authors stressed that their sample may not be representative of the breed as a whole. Neither the E13 nor E18 variants was detected. By genotyping "930 Braford, 94 Brangus, and 8 Brahman" from Argentina, Caffaro et al. (2019) reported "that 12.02% (95% CI 12.00-12.04) of the total number of samples received were heterozygous (i.e., carriers) for the E7 mutation, while 12.58% (95% CI 12.56-12.60) of the Braford, 6.38% (95% CI 6.26-6.51) of the Brangus, and 12.50% (95% CI 9.82-15.18) of the Brahman samples were carriers of this loss-of-function allele. Neither breed nor sex were significantly associated to the presence of the mutation. The prevalence informed in this study is similar to the average prevalence reported for Australian Brahmans."

Genetic testing: Dennis et al. (2000) developed allele-specific amplification and double mismatch amplification procedures for genotyping the exon 18 alleles in the acidic alpha-glucosidase gene (Mohammad Shariflou 13/11/2006).

Breeds: Brahman (Cattle) (VBO_0000159), Droughtmaster (Cattle) (VBO_0000196), Shorthorn (Cattle) (VBO_0000375).

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.
