OMIA:001501-9796 : Dilute coat color with neurological defects in Equus caballus (horse) |
In other species: dog
Categories: Pigmentation phene , Nervous system phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 214450 (trait) , 160777 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2010
Cross-species summary: The phene is very similar to human Griscelli syndrome, type 1 (GS1).
Species-specific name: Lavender Foal Syndrome, Coat Color Dilution Lethal
Species-specific symbol: LFS
Molecular basis: Brooks et al. (2010) identified a deletion in the MYO5A gene as being responsible for this disorder in Arabian horses. This gene has the interim symbol of LOC100069548.
Clinical features: Brooks et al. (2010): "Affected foals can display an array of neurological signs including tetanic-like seizures, opisthotonus, stiff or paddling leg movements and nystagmus ... [Fanelli, 2005]. Mild leucopenia is sometimes observed [Fanelli, 2005; Page et al., 2006]. These neurologic impairments prevent the foal from standing and nursing normally and, if not lethal on their own, are often cause for euthanasia. In addition to these abnormalities, affected foals possess a characteristic diluted “lavender” coat color. This resulting coat color, variously described as pale gray, pewter, and light chestnut, as well as lavender, has coined the name “Lavender Foal Syndrome” (LFS) [Fanelli, 2005]."
Breed:
Arab (Horse) (VBO_0000905).

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.
