OMIA 001758-9615 : Cataract, early onset in Canis lupus familiaris |
Ricketts et al. (2015) mapped a second locus in Australian Shepherd dogs to a 14.16 Mb region on chromosome CFA13 at 46.4 Mb
Molecular basis: Building on their mapping results (see above), Mellersh et al. (2006) sequenced the HSF4 gene in Staffordshire Bull Terriers segregating the disorder, and identified "a single C nucleotide insertion in exon 9 (CFA5 g85286582–85286583insC) that alters the reading frame of the gene and introduces a premature stop codon". The same mutation appears to be causative in Boston Terriers, and a different mutation in the same gene appears to be causative in Australian Shepherds: "a deletion of a C nucleotide at the same position of exon 9 in the affected Australian Shepherds (in which the disorder is autosomal dominant, unlike in the other two breeds, where it is autosomal recessive) (g.85286582delC) . . . , which is also predicted to alter the frame of the gene and introduce a premature stop codon, 177 nucleotides (59 amino acids) further downstream from that introduced by the deletion". Finally, the authors showed that neither of these mutations is causative in American Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. The following year, Mellersh et al. (2007) showed that late-onset cataract in Boston Terriers is not due to any mutation in HSF4. Engelhardt et al. (2007) showed that HSF4 mutations are not causative for primary cataract in English Cocker Spaniels and Wire-haired Kromfohrlanders. Müller et al. (2008) drew the same conclusion for primary cataract in Dachshunds and Entlebucher Mountain dogs. Mellersh et al. (2009) confirmed the Australian Shepherd mutation but also reported that other mutations are also likely to be involved. Breeds: Australian Shepherd, Boston Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

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.
