In other species: chicken , pig , indicine cattle (zebu) , goat , sheep
Categories: Respiratory system phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 611783 (trait) , 603349 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: no
Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial
Considered a defect: yes
Key variant known: no
Cross-species summary: Hypoxia
Species-specific name: High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH); bovine congestive heart failure (BCHF); abnormal pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP)
Markers: Newman et al. (2015) reported a "newly identified double variant in the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF2α) gene, Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPAS1), that is highly associated with HAPH and probably represents a gain of function mutation that is prevalent in low-altitude Angus herds and only expresses disease in the hypoxic state at high altitude". This variant comprised two missense mutations, namely A606T and G610S.
From a specially-assembled whole-genome-sequence panel of 96 minimally-related beef sires representing 19 breeds, Heaton et al. (2016) reported four additional missense mutations: E270Q, P362L, A671G, and L701F. Although having no data to test for association, these authors did construct a "rooted phylogenetic tree of eight polypeptide sequences [that] provided a framework for evaluating the likely order of mutations and potential impact of EPAS1 alleles on the adaptive response to chronic hypoxia in U.S. cattle".
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
