Cross-species summary: Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is synthesised in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by the action of UV radiation from sunlight. Cholecalciferol, however, has very little biological activity: it requires two hydroxylations in order to become (biologically) active. The first hydroxylation, catalysed by cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase, occurs in the liver. The second of these hydroxylations occurs in the kidney under the action of the enzyme 25-alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol 1-hydroxylase. The resultant active form of vitamin D (called 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or 1,25(OH)sub2D) is a steroid hormone that plays a vital role in whole-body calcium homeostasis. Vitamin D-deficieny rickets, type 1A (previously known as Pseudo-vitamin D deficiency rickets) is an inherited deficiency of the 1-hydroxylase enzyme, due to mutations in the gene that encodes this enzyme, namely CYP27B1. As expected, this deficiency results in clinical signs indistinguishable from those seen in individuals suffering from non-genetic lack of vitamin D, most commonly resulting from a dietary deficiency of calcium or insufficient exposure to sunlight. The clinical signs of rickets (inherited and non-genetic) arise from defects in calcium homeostasis. The most noticeable effects include a failure of calcification of bones (leading to bowing of limbs) and delayed dentition.

Species-specific name: PDDR

Molecular basis: The molecular basis of this disorder in pigs was determined via a candidate gene strategy by Chavez et al. (2003), who showed that in Hannover pigs, the clinical signs result from either of two deletions (173 bp or 329 bp) in the gene for cytochromome P450C1 (otherwise known as CYP27B1).

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.
