OMIA 000683-9615 : Muscular hypertrophy (double muscling) in Canis lupus familiaris |
In other species: cattle , pig , chicken , rabbit , goat , Japanese quail
Category: Muscle phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 601788 (gene) , 614160 (trait)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2007
Cross-species summary: Abnormal increase in muscular tissue caused entirely by enlargement of existing cells (in contrast to muscular hyperplasia, in which the abnormal increase in muscular tissue is due to the formation and growth of new, normal muscle cells)
Species-specific symbol: "bully" whippets
Species-specific description: In addition to the occurrence of natural variants for this trait, variants have been created artificially (e.g. Zou et al., 2015): Genetically-modifed organism; GMO.
Breed: Whippet.

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.
