OMIA 001594-9615 : Hyperekplexia (Startle disease) in Canis lupus familiaris |
Murphy et al. (2019): "Family members were genotyped for the deletion, and findings were consistent with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern."
Molecular basis: Gill et al. (2011): "analysis of SLC6A5 revealed a homozygous 4.2 kb microdeletion encompassing exons 2 and 3 in both affected [Irish Wolfhound] animals.'Murphy et al. (2019): "Whole genome resequencing of an affected [Spanish greyhound] dog revealed a homozygous two base pair deletion in the ninth exon of SLC6A5, encoding the presynaptic glycine transporter. The deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift, p.S460FfsX47, leading to a premature stop codon that truncates over a third of the protein."
Prevalence: Murphy et al. (2019): "The [Spanish Greyhound] pathogenic variant was absent from 34 unrelated greyhounds, 659 domestic dogs of pure and mixed breeds, and 54 wild canids, suggesting it occurred recently and may be private to the family." Breeds: Irish Wolfhound, Spanish greyhound. Associated gene:Symbol | Description | Species | Chr | Location | OMIA gene details page | Other Links |

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.
