OMIA:002152-9615 : Neuroaxonal dystrophy, VPS11-related in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Nervous system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 616683 (trait) , 608549 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2018

Species-specific symbol: NAD

Mapping: Lucot et al. (2018): "A genome-wide association study of seven Rottweilers affected with NAD and 42 controls revealed a significantly associated region on canine chromosome 5 (CFA 5). Homozygosity within the associated region narrowed the critical interval to a 4.46 Mb haplotype (CFA5:11.28 Mb – 15.75 Mb; CanFam3.1)".

Molecular basis: Lucot et al. (2018): "Whole-genome sequencing of two histopathologically confirmed canine NAD cases and 98 dogs unaffected with NAD revealed a homozygous missense mutation within the Vacuolar Protein Sorting 11 (VPS11) gene (g.14777774T>C; p.H835R) that was associated with the phenotype".

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Clinical features: Lucot et al. (2018):"Rottweiler NAD was first reported in the early 1980s and is characterized by a young adult age of onset with mild progression of clinical signs, typically including postural deficits, ataxia, hypermetria, intention tremor and nystagmus". Some clinical signs will develop at an older age (3-5 years old), these include head bobbing, head tremor, nystagmus and menace deficit (Chrisman, 1992).

Pathology: Lucot et al. (2018): “Clinical signs reflect the predominantly sensory topographical distribution of pathology within the central nervous system, (CNS) consisting of mild cerebellar atrophy, large number of axonal spheroids, and demyelination of axons in the vestibular nucleus, lateral and medial geniculate nuclei sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, gracilis and cuneate nuclei, and in the spinal cord dorsal horn.”

Breed: Rottweiler (Dog) (VBO_0201143).

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.
