Cross-species summary: The von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a large multimeric plasma glycoprotein required for platelet adhesion and aggregation. A deficiency or defective vWF results in von Willebrand disease (vWD). vWD are often classified in 3 different types based on the clinical severity and quantity and multimere size of von Willebrand factor. Type I is characterized by low plasma vWF concentrations and mild to moderate bleeding symptoms. Type II disorder is characterised by qualitative abnormalities of the vWF protein and moderate to severe bleeding. Type III is the most severe form of vWD with no detectable or a severe quantitative deficiency of vWF.

Inheritance: Venta et al. (2000) report that type 3 con Willebrand's disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in dogs. 

Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous human disorder), Rieger et al. (1998) showed the molecular basis for this disorder in Dutch Kooiker dogs to be a frameshift mutation in the gene encoding von Willebrand factor. Specifically, a G>A base substition at the first position of the donor splice site sequence of intron 16 results in a transcript containing 46 bases of intron, and creates a stop codon at amino acid position 729. Venta et al. (2000) reported "a single base deletion in the codon for amino acid 85 of the prepro-vWF cDNA" as a causal mutation in Scottish Terriers. As reported by Boudreaux (2012), a causal mutation in the Shetland Sheepdog breed was reported in US Patent 6074832 by Brewer et al. (Michigan State University) in 2000. To FN's knowledge, this discovery has not been published in the peer-reviewed literature. If anyone knows of a relevant publication, please contact FN.

Breeds: Dachshund (Dog) (VBO_0200406), Nederlandse Kooikerhondje (Dog) (VBO_0200932), Scottish Terrier (Dog) (VBO_0201198), Shetland Sheepdog (Dog) (VBO_0201217).

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.
