Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2013
History: This disorder was first reported by Ogata et al. (1999).
Mapping: Hirano et al. (2013) conducted a genome scan on 30 affected and 30 normal offspring of a bull with an abnormally high incidence of this disorder, each offspring and the bull being genotyped with BovineSNP50 BeadChip, yielding 13,208 informative SNPs. Homozygosity mapping (supported by linkage mapping on the candidate chromosome) implicated a 4.04Mb region on chromosome BTA8, encompassing 29 annotated genes.
Molecular basis: Exome sequencing in the candidate region (see Mapping section) of 2 affected, one carrier and one homozygous normal animal enabled Hirano et al. (2013) to identify the causal mutation as a missense mutation (c.235G>C; p.Val79Leu) in the IARS gene which encodes isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. Hirano et al. (2016) reported that "the [above] homozygous IARS mutation not only causes calf death, but also embryonic or fetal death.
Clinical features: This disorder is characterised by "neonatal weakness with intrauterine growth retardation" (Hirano et al., 2013). Islam et al. (2021): "There were no statistically significant differences between the carrier and wild-type cows with respect to either [metabolic profile test] MPT results or reproductive performance, indicating that the carrier cows have necessary IARS activity to maintain minimal health and reproductive potential."
Prevalence: Islam et al. (2021): "In 2009 and 2018, DNA samples were collected from 130 and 462 clinically healthy JB cows, respectively, in Kagoshima prefecture. ... Genotyping [for the c.235G>C mutation] revealed that the carrier rate was 6.9% in 2009 and 1.5% in 2018".
Control: Ikeda et al. (2017) reported the repair of the IARS likely causal variant in day-34 foetuses, following CRISPR/Cas9-assisted editing of "fetal fibroblast (BFF) cells isolated from a homozygous mutant calf".

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.
