In other species: dog , pig , muntjak , taurine cattle , sheep , rabbit
Categories: Lysosomal storage disease , Nervous system phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 272800 (trait) , 606869 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2008
Cross-species summary: Tay-Sachs disease
Molecular basis: In a clear sign of the times, in a single paper Zeng et al. (2008) not only described the occurrence of a lysosomal storage disease in just two American famingoes, but also, based on the clinical signs and pathology of these two birds, were able to show the cause as a P469L missense mutation in exon 12 of the HEXA gene. Although the disorder has been reported in other species of non-laboratory animals, this is the first reported case of naturally-occurring HEXA deficiency in animals that has been characterised at the DNA level.

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.
