OMIA:000679-9031 : Muscular dystrophy in Gallus gallus (chicken)

In other species: turkey , dog , domestic cat , sheep , American mink

Categories: Muscle phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 602307 (gene)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal co-dominant

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2008

Cross-species summary: Degenerative muscle disorder, leading to muscle weakness, liberation of myoglobin into the circulation from skeletal muscle, and subsequent wasting and possible contracture.

Species-specific name: Abnormal muscle; AM

Mapping: Yoshizawa et al. (2003) excluded three possible candidates (SNTB1, SDC2 and GEM) for this locus on GGA2q.

Molecular basis: Matsumoto et al. (2008) provided strong evidence implicating a missense mutation in the gene for ubiquitin ligase (WWP1) as the cause of this disorder.

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.
