OMIA:002114-9913 : Hypotrichosis, KRT71-related in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 615896 (trait) , 608245 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2010

Mapping: Jacinto et al. (2021): "A genome-wide association study revealed an association signal on chromosome 5. Homozygosity mapping in a subset of cases refined the HY locus to a 690 kb critical interval encompassing a cluster of type II keratin encoding genes."

Molecular basis: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Protein-coding exons of six positional candidate genes with known hair or hair follicle function were re-sequenced. This revealed a protein-changing variant in the KRT71 gene that encodes a type II keratin specifically expressed in the IRS of the hair follicle (c.281delTGTGCCCA; p.Met94AsnfsX14)." This variant was previously reported by Markey et al. (2010).

Clinical features: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Affected calves showed a very short, fine, wooly, kinky and curly coat over all parts of the body, with a major expression in the ears, the inner part of the limbs, and in the thoracic-abdominal region."

Pathology: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Histopathology showed a severely altered morphology of the inner root sheath (IRS) of the hair follicle with abnormal Huxley and Henle's layers and severely dysplastic hair shafts."

Breed: Hereford (Cattle) (VBO_0000232).

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.

1337 Hereford (Cattle) Hypotrichosis, KRT71-related KRT71 deletion, small (<=20) Naturally occurring variant ARS-UCD1.3 5 NC_037332.1:g.27331221_27331228del NM_001075970.1:c.281_288del NP_001069438.1:p.(M94Nfs*14) cDNA and protein positions based on NM_001075970.1 and NP_001069438.1, respectively 2021 34356054 210909: FN checked the ARS-UCD1.2 assembly, and discovered that the deletion spans 27331221 to 27331228. Thus g.27331221delTGTGCCCA was changed to g.27331221_27331228del. From NCBI's genome browser, worked out that the c. notation needs to be changed from c.281delTGTGCCCA to c.281_288del.
