Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 1996

Cross-species summary: This is type of XY difference of sexual development (XY DSD) due to variation in the SRY gene. In humans called 46,XY sex reversal 1. Renamed in OMIA from "Ovotesticular DSD (Disorder of Sexual evelopment)" [29/09/2023]. Previously this phene ID was named in OMIA 'Sex reversal: XY female, SRY-negative'

Molecular basis: Using a comparative candidate-gene strategy (based on the homologous disorder in other species), Kawakura et al. (1996) showed that the SRY gene was absent in three XY female cattle from Japan (one each of Holstein Friesian, Japanese Black and Jersey breed). The authors concluded that these cases of sex reversal were due to a deletion of the SRY gene.

Breeds: Holstein Friesian (Cattle) (VBO_0000239), Japanese Black, Japan (Cattle) (VBO_0004987), Jersey (Cattle) (VBO_0000250).
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.
