Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Animals with hereditary xanthinuria (excretion of large amounts of xanthine in the urine) may be asymptomatic, may have subclinical uroliths (xanthine stones), or present with clinical signs of urolithiasis. Urolith formation can be influenced by other biologic and environmental factors such as sex, diet and urine properties. Xanthinuria, type I (OMIA:002445) is caused by variation in the XDH gene and xanthinuria, type II (OMIA:001819) is caused by variation in the MOCOS gene. Information relating to xanthinuria without identified causal variants is listed under xanthinuria, generic (OMIA:001283).

Inheritance: Ptitchard et al. (2024) supected a recessive mode of inheritance in a Munchin family. 

Molecular basis: Ptitchard et al. (2024): "The candidate genetic variant affecting XDH proposed for case 1 (XDH p.A681V) [OMIAvariantID:1541, see OMIA:002445-9685 : Xanthinuria, type I in Felis catus (domestic cat) for details]  was excluded in the Munchkin family."

Breeds: European Shorthair (Cat) (VBO_0100094), Munchkin (Cat) (VBO_0100169).
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).
