OMIA:002450-9913 : Ichthyosis, FA2H-related in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 611026 (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: 2021

Species-specific name: Ichthyosis congenita (IC)

Inheritance: Jacinto et al. (2021): "pedigree records indicated a monogenic recessive trait."

Molecular basis: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Homozygosity mapping and whole-genome sequencing allowed the identification of a homozygous frameshift 1 bp insertion in the FA2H gene (c.9dupC; p.Ala4ArgfsTer142) located in a 1.92 Mb shared identical-by-descent region on chromosome 18 present in all cases, while the parents were heterozygous as expected for obligate carriers."

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

Clinical features: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Nine affected cattle presenting congenital xerosis, hyperkeratosis and scaling of the skin as well as urolithiasis and cystitis associated with retarded growth were examined. ... A sporadic incidence of mild clinical signs in the skin of heterozygous carriers was observed."

Pathology: Jacinto et al. (2021): "Skin histopathology revealed a severe, diffuse orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis with mild to moderate epidermal hyperplasia."

Prevalence: Jacinto et al. (2021) report an estimated allele frequency of ~ 7.5% in Chianina top sires.

Breed: Chianina (Cattle) (VBO_0000178).

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.
