Cross-species summary: One of several variants of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) or Batten disease: CLN7; NCL7
Molecular basis: Small deletion: "c.843delT is predicted to cause a frame shift and premature stop codon resulting in a truncated protein, MFSD8:p.F282Lfs13*, missing its 239 C-terminal amino acids" in the Chinese Crested breed (Guo et al., 2015). Faller et al. (2016) demonstrated that the same genetic variant is also present in Chihuahuas with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7. Karli et al. (2016) reported that "the MFSD8:c.843delT variant is also present [and causal] in Chihuahuas without official registrations." Ashwini et al. (2016) also reported the same likely causal mutation in Chihuahuas.
Clinical features: "progressive neurological decline that included blindness, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. A diagnosis of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis was made based on neurological signs, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and fluorescence microscopic and electron microscopic examination of brain sections" (Guo et al., 2015) Similar clinical signs were also observed in Chihuahuas (Faller et al. 2016).
Pathology: "Both the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex exhibited massive intracellular accumulations of autofluorescent material with a golden yellow emission under blue light illumination . . . . In the cerebellum storage material was most prominent in the Purkinje cells, but substantial amounts of this material were also present in the granular layer . . . . Perinuclear accumulations of autofluorescent storage granules were observed in neurons throughout the cerebral cortex" (Guo et al., 2015) The pathology of affected Chihuahuas was described by Faller et al. (2016).
Prevalence: Pervin et al. (2022) investigated the c.846delT allele in 1007 Chihuahuas in Japan and identified a "carrier rate of 1.29%, indicating a mutant allele frequency (0.00645)".

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.
