OMIA:001079-9986 : Yellow fat in Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit) |
In other species: horse , pig , taurine cattle , sheep
Categories: Adipose tissue phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 611740 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2015
Species-specific description: See Robinson (1958, p. 313).
Mapping: Castle (1933) showed that the yellow fat locus is linked to albinism (OMIA 000202-9986) and brown (OMIA 001249-9986).
Molecular basis: Strychalski et al. (2015): "novel AAT-deletion mutation at codon 248 of the BCO2 gene, which has been found in homozygous yellow-fat rabbits. The deletion mutation, located at the beginning of exon 6, results in the absence of asparagine in protein"
Breeds:
Flemish Giant (Rabbit) (VBO_0001249),
New Zealand White (Rabbit) (VBO_0001269).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. (If a likely causal variant has been documented for the phene, see the variant table breeds in which the variant has been reported).

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.
