OMIA:001721-32536 : Coat colour, king in Acinonyx jubatus (cheetah) |
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 610046 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2012
Species-specific description: The characteristics of this coat colour pattern are described by Kaelin et al. (2012) as "the black spots coalesce into larger areas, and multiple longitudinal black stripes appear on the dorsum".
Inheritance: van Aarde and van Dyk (1986) reported that the characteristic coat colour pattern of King cheetahs is a single-locus autosomal recessive trait. Previously, the King cheetah had been regarded as a separate species (Pocock, 1927).
Molecular basis: Kaelin et al. (2012) reported the causal mutation as "a base pair insertion in exon 20 [of the cheetah Taqpep gene], predicting a frameshift that replaces what would normally be the carboxy-terminal 16 amino acids with 109 new residues (N977Kfs110)". The gene name "Taqpep" has been replaced by laeverin with symbol LVRN.

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.
