OMIA:001677-9796 : Epidermolysis bullosa, junctionalis, LAMA3-related in Equus caballus (horse) |
In other species: dog , taurine cattle
Categories: Integument (skin) phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 226700 (trait) , 600805 (gene) , 245660 (trait) , 226650 (trait)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2009
Cross-species summary: Congenital blistering skin disease characterized by separation of the lamina lucida of the basement membrane zone. Blisters often occur in and around the mouth and on the limbs, leading in the latter case to separation of the hoof or nail from the corium (dermis).
Species-specific name: Also known as Epitheliogenesis imperfecta.
Molecular basis: By sequence analysis of three strong comparative candidate genes, Graves et al. (2009) identified a causal mutation as a "6589-bp deletion spanning exons 24-27 . . . in the LAMA3 gene in American Saddlebred foals" [omia.variant:658].
Prevalence: Graves et al. (2009) reported that "nine of 175 randomly selected American Saddlebred foals from the 2007 foal crop were found to be carriers of the [deletion] mutation (frequency of 0.026)".
Breed:
American Saddle Horse (Horse) (VBO_0000898).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. (If a likely causal variant has been documented for the phene, see the variant table breeds in which the variant has been reported).

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.
