OMIA:001952-9823 : Microtia in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: sheep

Categories: Hearing / vestibular / ear phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 600674 (trait) , 142992 (gene) , 612109 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2015

Molecular basis: Qiao et al. (2015): c.451delinsTC

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

Clinical features: As reported by Qiao et al. (2015), "Microtia is a congenital deformity of the out ear, characterized by small, abnormally shaped auricle. It is usually accompanied by narrowed, blocked or absent ear canal and underdeveloped middle ear because the out ear and the middle ear evolve from a common embryological origin"

Breed: Huazhong Two-End Black - Shaziling, China (Pig) (VBO_0012786).

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.
