Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number):
274500
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Recessive
Considered a defect:
yes
Key variant known:
yes
Year key variant first reported:
2015
Cross-species summary:
Deficiency of thyroid gland activity.
Also known as Goiterous congenital hypothyroidism; Congenital hypothyroidism; Thyroid dyshormonogenesis
History:
The occurrence of this disorder in a family of Domestic shorthair cats was reported by Mazrier et al. (2003)
Inheritance:
In the family reported by Mazrier et al. (2003), autosomal recessive inhetitance was observed.
Molecular basis:
By partially sequencing a strong candidate gene Morrow et al. (2006) reported the molecular basis of this disorder in Domestic shorthair cats as being very likely due to an 8bp deletion in intron 9 of the gene for the enzyme thyroid peroxidase (TPO). Further investigation by the same team identified a causal missense mutation in the TPO gene (c.1333G>A; p.Ala445Thr) (Giger et al., 2015).
Breed:
Domestic shorthair.

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.
