Year key variant first reported: 2017
Species-specific symbol: LPN2
History: Variants in other genes have been associated with other forms of polyneuropathy and/or laryngeal paralysis in various breeds: OMIA 001917-9615 (ARHGEF10), OMIA 002222-9615 (RAPGEF6), OMIA 001970-9615 (RAB3GAP1), OMIA 002284-9615 (SBF2), OMIA 002301-9615 (CNTNAP1). References relating to polyneuropathies and laryngeal paralysis in dogs without known genetic associations are listed under OMIA 001292-9615 and OMIA 001206-9615, respectively.
Mapping: Becker et al. (2017): "A genome-wide comparison of 173 k SNP genotypes of 176 cases, excluding dogs homozygous for the ARHGEF10 variant, and 138 controls, was carried out to detect further PN-associated variants. A single suggestive significant association signal on CFA15 was found. "
Molecular basis: Becker et al. (2017) identified a likely causal variant as a "GJA9 variant (CanFam3.1: chr15.3863,524_3863,525delAG) [which] results in a frameshift (ENSCAFT00000038555: c.1107_1108delAG) and premature stop codon (F1PSG8_CANLF: p.Glu370AsnfsTer12) that is predicted to truncate almost half of the intracellular C-terminus of the encoded connexin."
Pathology: Becker et al. (2017): "Resin sections from the peroneal nerve were qualitatively evaluated from 5 Leonberger dogs with PN [polyneuropathy] and the GJA9 variant .... The prominent pathologic abnormality was variably severe nerve fiber loss resulting from chronic axonal degeneration .... Large nerve fiber loss was most prominent with an increased population of small caliber nerve fibers."
Breed:
Leonberger (Dog) (VBO_0200819).

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.
