OMIA 000636-9823 : Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II in Sus scrofa |
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers):
235400
,
609814
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal
Considered a defect:
yes
Key variant known:
yes
Year key variant first reported:
2002
Cross-species summary:
A progressive inflammation of the capillary loops in the glomeruli of the kidney, in which the glomeruli become enlarged as a result of proliferation of mesangial cells and irregular thickening of the capillary walls, due to massive glomeruli deposits of complement component C3 and the terminal C5b-C9 complement complex.
Species-specific name:
Porcine dense deposit disease; Hereditary factor H deficiency
Species-specific symbol:
MPGN II
Species-specific description:
In pigs, this disorder is due to a deficiency of complement factor H, a protein whose task is to restrict the formation of C3 convertase. The hypermetabolism of the excess C3 results in deposits of complement in the kidneys, and in hypocomplementaemia.
Inheritance:
From matings designed to investigate the inheritance of this disorder, Jansen et al. (1995) obtained convincing evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance.
Molecular basis:
By cloning and sequencing a very likely candidate gene (based on knowledge that the disorder is due to deficiency of Factor H), Hegasy et al. (2002) discovered that the molecular basis for this disorder is a missense mutation (T3610G) in the gene for factor H, resulting in an I1166R amino-acid substitution. [FN 13 Jan 2003; 21 Sep 2012]

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.
