OMIA:001866-9685 : Hypotrichosis, Don Sphynx in Felis catus (domestic cat)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal incomplete dominant

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific name: Also known as Donskoy and Russian hairless

Inheritance: Zhigachev et al. (2000) reported autosomal incompletely dominant inheritance.

Molecular basis: In contrast to the situation with Canadian Sphynx cats, whose hairlessness is due to a mutation in KRT71 (see OMIA 001583-9685), Dierks et al. (2013) ruled out mutations in KRT71 as being causal for the hairlessness of Don Sphynx cats.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Breed: Don Sphynx (Cat) (VBO_0100085).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
