OMIA 001138-9615 : Hypocatalasia in Canis lupus familiaris

In other species: domestic guinea pig

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 614097 (trait) , 115500 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2000

Cross-species summary: Also known as acatalasemia.

Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely candidate gene (based on knowledge of the biochemical and physiological properties of the enzyme catalase in affected dogs), Nakamura et al. (2000) reported that the canine disorder in Beagles is due to a missense mutation [in the catalase gene (CAT),] leading to the substitution of alanine(327) (GCT) by threonine (ACT)".

Prevalence: Noting that the original discovery of the likely causal variant (c.979G>A; p.Ala327Thr) was in a Beagle colony, Donner et al. (2016) reported that "To our knowledge, presence and manifestation of acatalasemia due to the aforementioned CAT variant has not been previously documented in the pet Beagle population. We therefore note that we identified pet Beagle carriers, and a tenmonth-old mutant homozygous Beagle through panel screening. During this investigation, the genetically affected Beagle developed gangrene of the oral cavity leading to the removal of three teeth at the age of eighteen months, which could be a manifestation of acatalasemia".

Donner et al. (2016) reported heterozygosity for the same c.979G>A (p.Ala327Thr) variant in one American Foxhound.

Breeds: American Foxhound, Beagle.

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.
