Cross-species summary: This disorder has been renamed in OMIA on the basis of the review by Miyadera et al. (2012)

Species-specific name: cmr2

Species-specific description: Canine multifocal retinopathy (cmr) is an ocular disorder characterized by multiple areas of retinal degeneration. The detection of three different mutations in the one gene (BEST1) has led to the naming of three different forms of the disorder (cmr1 [OMIA001444-9615], cmr2 [OMIA001553-9615], cmr3 [OMIA001554-9615]), all of which are very similar clinically. The form of cmr detailed in this entry (cmr2) occurs in the Coton du Tulear breed.

Mapping: CFA18

Molecular basis: The causative mutation for cmr2 in the Coton de Tulear is a G to A missense mutation in BEST1 (Guziewicz et al., 2007).

Clinical features: Signs of cmr include multiple tan-pink subretinal patches in both the tapetal and the non-tapetal fundus along with focal areas of tapetal hyper-reflectivity. The lesions elevate the retina, progressing as the dog ages, to focal areas of retinal degeneration and retinal pigment epithelial hypertrophy and pigmentation (Grahn et al., 1998).

Pathology: In retinal histology there are multiple areas of retinal pigment epithelial vacuolation, hypertrophy, apparent separation from Bruch’s membrane, and multiple serous retinal detachments (Grahn et al., 1998).

Control: Relatives of affected dogs should be tested. Breeding of affected or carrier animals is not recommended. If carriers must be bred, it should be bred only to a tested, homozygous normal dog.

Genetic testing: There are tests available to detect the known causative mutations.

Breed: Coton de Tulear (Dog) (VBO_0200389).

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.
