Molecular basis: Using the comparative candidate gene strategy (based on the same clinical signs in humans being due to mutations in the JAK2 gene), Beurlet et al. (2011) sequenced exon 14 of the canine JAK2 gene in five affected dogs (a female "crossbred", a male Maltese, a female Poodle, a female Yorkshire, and a female "Westie") and discovered a possible causal triple-mutation variant (c.1849G>T, c.1852T>C, c.1853G>T; p.V617F, p.C618L) in just one dog (the "crossbred"), the other four having only wild-type sequence.
The authors suggested that the mutations were acquired as somatic mutations (genetic mosaicism) based on differences in sequencing results in DNA extracted from blood and a buccal swab.
Evidence that this variant is likely to be causal was based on (a) This same variant (at the peptide level) is causal in humans; and (b) "Transfection of BaF3 cells with the triple mutant cDNA, but not with the wild-type complementary DNA, resulted in cytokine-independent growth and constitutive signal transducer and activation of transcription 5 phosphorylation". As the authors note, the fact that four of the five affected dogs do not have the likely causal variant indicates that "we cannot exclude the presence of different mutations of JAK2 or mutations of proteins upstream or downstream of JAK2. . . . alternate mutations may be found in JAK-STAT regulating pathways, such as reported in the LNK gene [in humans]". The fact that the five sequenced dogs are a cross between un-named breeds and one each of four different breeds, explains why the likely causal variant was seen in only one dog. Given the lack of knowledge of the breeds involved in the crossbred dog, and the lack of the likely causal variant in the other four dogs, it can be concluded that testing for this particular variant will not be particularly effective in any breed until further information is obtained on the distribution and effect of this variant.

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.
