Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on 84 Weimaraner dogs "(40 males and 44 females) of whom 14 were affecteds, 19 were known carriers, and 51 were unaffecteds", each genotyped with the Illumina CanineHD BeadChip (yielding 95,990 informative autosomal SNPs), Pemberton et al. (2014) mapped this disorder to a 5Mb region (57.3 to 62.3) on chromosome CFA15. Subsequent homozygosity mapping narrowed this to a 3.7Mb region (573. to 61.0).
Molecular basis: After sequencing the most obvious candidate gene in the candidate region (see Mapping section) and discovering no mutations, Pemberton et al. (2014) sequenced all 199 exons of the remaining 16 genes in that region, yielding 54 variants, only one of which had the potential to be deleterious. This variant turned out to be the causal mutation: "a deletion of a single A nucleotide within exon 9 of the gene encoding folliculin-interacting protein 2 (FNIP2). This mutation at nucleotide 880 of the coding sequence (c.880delA, XM_532705) causes a frameshift, and the amino acid sequence is altered beginning at codon 294, with a premature translation stop signal introduced at codon 296 . . . . A highly truncated protein of 295 amino acids compared with the wild-type protein of 1,106 amino acids is predicted to result from this p.Ile294fsX296 mutation"

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.
