OMIA 001948-9940 : Epidermolysis bullosa, junctionalis, ITGB4-related in Ovis aries

In other species: cattle

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 147557

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2015

Cross-species summary: Also known as Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, non-Herlitz type

Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on 20 affected, 28 related normal and 48 unrelated normal Churra sheep, each of which had been genotyped with the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip (yielding 44,785 informative SNPs), Suárez-Vega et al. (2015) mapped this disorder to chromosome OAR11, in the vicinity of marker rs410387229 at 54,939,690 bp (OARv3.1). Subsequent homozygosity mapping narrowed the region to "an 868-kb homozygous segment, from 54,632,309–55,500,100 bp". This implicated a very likely comparative locational candidate gene, namely ITGB4.

Molecular basis: Small deletion: "a 4-bp deletion within exon 33 of the ITGB4 gene (c.4412_4415del;[ OAR11:54,849,767–54,849,770 bp; Oar v3.1]). The c.4412_4415del mutation causes a frameshift resulting in a premature stop codon at position 1472 of the integrin β4 protein" (Suárez-Vega et al., 2015)

Breed: Churra.

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.
