OMIA:001593-9913 : Scurs, type 2 in Bos taurus (taurine cattle) |
Categories: Craniofacial phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 101400 (trait) , 601622 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2011
Cross-species summary: Scurs are horn-like appendages. In contrast to horns, scurs are not attached to the skull.
Species-specific symbol: T2SS
History: Capitan et al. (2011) were the first to describe this trait, in the Charolais breed. It is characterised by a typical scurs phenotype plus skull interfrontal suture synostosis.
Mapping: Capitan et al. (2011) mapped this trait in Charolais cattle to a 1.7Mb region of chromosome BTA4.
Molecular basis: By sequencing a strong positional candidate gene, namely TWIST1, Capitan et al. (2011) identified a small duplication (c.148_157dup (p.A56RfsX87)) that inactivates the gene. This frameshift mutation segregates perfectly with type 2 scurs.
Breed:
Charolais (Cattle) (VBO_0000177).

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.
