Cross-species summary: Short stature syndrome similar to 3M syndrome in humans

Species-specific symbol: BCRHS

History: This lethal disorder was first described by Shariflou et al. (2011). Its clinical signs are well described by its name.

Mapping: By genotyping 10 affected and 27 control Merinos, each with the Illumina Ovine SNP50 BeadChip (yielding 40,899 informative SNPs), Shariflou et al. (2013) used GWAS and homozygosity mapping to locate this disorder to "a region comprising 20 consecutive SNPs spanning 1.1 Mb towards the distal end of chromosome OAR2".

Molecular basis: Woolley et al. (2020) identified eight positional candidate genes in the interval identified by Shariflou et al. (2013) and "Obscurin like cytoskeletal adaptor 1 (OBSL1) was selected as a strong positional candidate gene based on gene function and the resulting phenotypes observed in humans with mutations in this gene. Whole genome sequencing of an affected lamb (BCRHS3) identified a likely causal variant ENSOARG00000020239:g.220,472,248delC within OBSL1. Sanger sequencing of seven affected, six obligate carrier, two phenotypically unaffected animals from the original flock and one unrelated control animal validated the variant." The likely disease-causing variant is predicted to result in a frameshift (p.(Val573Trpfs*119)) in the OBSL1 protein.

Clinical features: Affected lambs are stillborn with various congenital defects as reflected in the name of the disease, as well as short stature, a short and broad cranium, a small thoracic cavity, thin ribs and brachysternum. The BCRHS phenotype shows similarity to certain human short stature syndromes, in particular the human 3M syndrome-2.

Breed: Merino (Sheep) (VBO_0001508).

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.
