Species-specific description: Cowan (1962) reported a strain of Single Comb White Leghorn chickens with abnormal riboflavin metabolism. MacLachlan et al. (1993): "The allele describing this condition is the rd allele. Fertilized eggs from hens homozygous for the rd allele are unable to develop into viable embryos. These eggs lack the riboflavin required for normal embryonic development, and as a result the embryo expires on or around the 13th day of incubation. Early investigations found higher than expected levels of riboflavin excreted in the urine of sexually mature homozygous rd females (Cowan et al. 1966, 1966). This observation led to the hypothesis that the rd defect was related to renal riboflavin reabsorption, and to the subsequent adoption of the term avian riboflavinuria to describe the condition. However, a later study of isolated kidney sections failed to demonstrate a difference in the renal riboflavin transport of affected (rd l rd ) versus normal ( Rd l Rd) females (Winter et al. 1967)." MacLachlan et al. (1993) identified a likely causal variant in the riboflavin-binding protein (ribBP, also abbreviated as RBP).
Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely candidate gene (based on knowledge that the disorder is due to deficiency of riboflavin-binding protein; ribBP), MacLachlan et al. (1993) identified a "deletion in the rd ribBP cDNA correspond[ing] precisely to an exon. The splice site following this exon contains a G-->A mutation at position 1 of the downstream 5'-splice donor sequence. The effect of this anomaly and the cause of the rd phenotype is the loss of the 100-base pair exon during the splicing process."

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.
