Species-specific description: This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Molecular basis: Li et al. (2020): "an NLRP3 gain-of-function pig model carrying a homozygous R259W mutation was generated by combining CRISPR/Cpf1-mediated somatic cell genome editing with nuclear transfer."

Clinical features: Li et al. (2020): "The newborn NLRP3 R259W homozygous piglets showed early mortality, poor growth, and spontaneous systemic inflammation symptoms, including skin lesion, joint inflammation, severe contracture, and inflammation-mediated multiorgan failure. Severe myocardial fibrosis was also observed. ... Notably, approximately half of the homozygous piglets grew up to adulthood and even gave birth to offspring. Although the F1 heterozygous piglets showed improved survival rate and normal weight gain, 39.1% (nine out of 23) of the piglets died early and exhibited spontaneous systemic inflammation symptoms.

Pathology: Li et al. (2020): The tissues of inflamed skins and several organs showed significantly increased expressions of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and inflammation-associated cytokines and factors (i.e., IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-17).

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.
