OMIA:002116-69293 : Coat colour, albinism, oculocutaneous, HPS5-related in Gasterosteus aculeatus (three-spined stickleback) |
In other species: domestic cat , horse
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 614074 (trait) , 607521 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Disease-related: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2017
History: Miller and Hart (2017) reported "the discovery and characterization of a spontaneous threespine stickleback X-linked recessive albino mutation casper"
Mapping: Miller and Hart (2017) "mapped casper using high-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA from bulked casper mutants to a region of the stickleback X chromosome (chromosome 19) near the stickleback ortholog of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 5 (Hps5)"
Molecular basis: Miller and Hart (2017): "casper mutants have an insertion of a single nucleotide in the 6th exon of Hsp5, predicted to generate an early frameshift"
Clinical features: Miller and hart (2017) "discovered a single spontaneous mutant male stickleback displaying severe pigmentation defects. We named this mutation casper, and recovered the mutation in subsequent generations . . . . casper mutants display oculocutaneous hypopigmentation in unhatched embryos when pigment first becomes apparent, becoming readily apparent by seven days post fertilization (dpf) . . . . Mutants appear fully viable and fertile . . . . casper mutants display severely reduced melanization of their retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the most obvious visible phenotype . . . . Additionally, sexually mature casper males displayed severely reduced pigmentation in their testes relative to their wild-type siblings . . . . Chromatophores are differentially affected in casper mutants. Beginning at the time of their first appearance (four dpf), melanophores in casper mutants are present, but display severe reductions in melanization relative to their wild-type siblings . . . . The silver pigmentation from iridophores appears absent from older casper fish . . . . The red erythrophores, which contain diet-supplied carotenoids . . . , were never observed in the throats of sexually mature casper mutant males."

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.
