OMIA 002535-9913 : Cataract, ADAMTSL4-related in Bos taurus

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 225200 (trait) , 225100 (trait) , 610113 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Dominant

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2022

Molecular basis: Häfliger et al. (2022): "Whole-genome sequencing of the parent-offspring trio revealed a de novo mutation of ADAMTSL4 in this case. The heterozygous p.Arg776His missense variant affects a conserved residue of the ADAMTSL4 gene that encodes a secreted glycoprotein expressed in the lens throughout embryonic development." The authors were careful to note that "Given that this is a single case investigation and that we have no functional confirmation, this result must be considered preliminary and should be interpreted with caution. However, it must also be emphasized that the analysis was not suitable for identifying larger structural variants. Further isolated cases of cataract in cattle could be investigated for ADAMTSL4 variants by DNA sequencing."

Clinical features: Häfliger et al. (2022): "Clinicopathological analysis of a single case of impaired vision in a newborn Original Braunvieh calf revealed nuclear cataract".

Breed: Braunvieh.

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.
