OMIA 002071-9615 : Macular corneal dystrophy in Canis lupus familiaris

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 217800

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2016

Molecular basis: By sequencing the most likely comparative candidate gene (CHST6) in one affected and one normal Labrador Retriever, Tetas Pont et al. (2016) identified the likely causal mutation as c.814C>A; p.R272S. Supporting evidence was provided by evidence that "six LR affected with MCD were homozygous for the mutant allele, while 140/151 control LR were homozygous for the wild-type allele and 11/151 were heterozygous for the mutation". Frustratingly, CHST6 is called LOC489707 in NCBI Gene.

Prevalence: As reported by Tetas Pont et al. (2016), "The mutant allele was present in the unrelated LR cohort [of 89 unrelated Labrador Retrievers with unknown clinical status] at a frequency of 0.017, suggesting carrier and affection rates of 3.3% and 0.028%, respectively."

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.
