Inheritance: Padgett and Mostosky (1965) concluded autosomal recessive inheritance in the West Highland White terrier breed. Hytönen et al. (2016) reported that "The determination of the exact mode of inheritance in dogs [in West Highland White Terriers, Cairn Terriers and Scottish Terriers] is not straightforward due to the nature of the leaky splice variant and mild self-limiting phenotype that may remain unobserved and prevent retrospective diagnosis. We found some dogs that were homozygous for the variant but had no reported clinical signs. However, we observed a considerable level of the wild-type SLC37A2 transcript in homozygous dogs in the peripheral blood due to the splicing leakage, suggesting that the leaky expression is sufficient to avoid a clinical phenotype in some cases. We also found several heterozygous dogs that had developed CMO. We found that heterozygous dogs had lower levels of wild-type SLC37A2 transcript compared to the unaffected dogs with individual variation of expression between dogs. This result suggested a dominant disease with incomplete penetrance that could help to explain the reported differences in the severity and duration of CMO among the affected dogs, although alternative models of inheritance cannot be completely ruled out yet."

Molecular basis: Hytönen et al. (2016) reported that a likely causal variant in West Highland White Terriers, Cairn Terriers and Scottish Terriers is a splicing variant "c.1332C>T in exon 15 of SLC37A2 . . . The mutant T allele eliminates a potential binding site for the splicing factor ASF/SF-2". Letko et al. (2020) discovered a likely causal variant for this disorder: "in a Basset Hound, a heterozygous most likely pathogenic splice site variant was found in SLC37A2 (c.1446+1G>A), predicted to lead to exon skipping as shown before in SLC37A2‐associated canine CMO of Terriers."

Breeds: Basset Hound (Dog) (VBO_0200126), Cairn Terrier (Dog) (VBO_0200267), Scottish Terrier (Dog) (VBO_0201198), West Highland White Terrier (Dog) (VBO_0201415).

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.
