Species-specific symbol: pt

Species-specific description: This is an X-linked disorder that affects myelination of the central nervous system.

History: This disorder was first reported by Osetowska (1967).

Molecular basis: Building on the results of Tosic et al. (1993) that this disorder is primarily due to faulty expression of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, Tosic et al. (1994) sequenced PLP cDNA from normal and affected rabbits and showed that the disorder is due to a point mutation in exon 2 of the PLP gene, corresponding to the end of the first potential transmembrane domain of the protein. The mutation removes the recognition site for a restriction enzyme, thereby providing a simple genotyping test.

Breed: Chinchilla (Rabbit) (VBO_0001241).

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.
