OMIA:001587-9685 : Deficiency of cytosolic arylamine N-acetylation in Felis catus (domestic cat)

In other species: dog

Categories: Normal phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 243400 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Disease-related: no

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 1998

Molecular basis: Trepanier et al. (1998) showed that the relative deficiency of the enzyme cytosolic arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) in felids is due to the presence of only one NAT gene (NAT1), in contrast to the existence of NAT1 and NAT2 genes in other mammals (except in dogs, which lack both NAT1 and NAT2; see OMIA 001587-9615).

Genetic testing: Since all cats lack the NAT2 gene, there is no need for a genetic test.
