OMIA 002095-9615 : Epilepsy, generalized myoclonic, with photosensitivity in Canis lupus familiaris

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2017

Molecular basis: Wielaender et al. (2017): "a 4-bp deletion in the exon 2 of the DIRAS1 gene (c.564_567delAGAC . . . CanFam3 . . . , resulting in a frameshift and a stop loss. . . . The genotyping of the DIRAS1 deletion in 14 clinically verified RR cases and 26 controls revealed a homozygous mutant genotype in all cases, a heterozygous genotype in the obligate carriers, and the homozygous wild-type genotype in controls."

Breed: Rhodesian Ridgeback.

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.
