OMIA:002557-9913 : Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 535000 (trait) , 516004 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Mitochondrial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2019

Cross-species summary: Also known as Leber optic neuropathy

Species-specific symbol: LHON

Inheritance: Novosel et al. (2022): "Maternal inheritance was confirmed by Sanger sequencing, with individuals carrying the T10432C mutation for five generations . . . . The evidence of maternal inheritance of the mutation is even more reliable considering that the presence of the T10432C mutation in [the two mutant animals] Gavtraža and Pirha most likely has the same origin. At the same time, the results of next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing . . . show no evidence of heteroplasmy at mitogenome position 10432, confirming that the identified mutation is homoplasmic."

Molecular basis: This likely causal variant was first reported by Novosel et al. (2019). Details are provided by Novosel et al. (2022): "In the small local Slovenian cattle breed Cika, we identified (next-generation sequencing) two cows with the T10432C mitogenome mutation in the ND4L gene, which corresponds to the human T10663C mutation known to cause Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)"

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

Clinical features: Novosel et al. (2022): "A closer clinical examination of one cow with the T10432C mutation revealed exophthalmos, whereas histopathological examination revealed retinal ablations, subretinal oedema, and haemorrhage. The results of these analyses confirm the presence of mitochondrial mutation T10432C with homoplasmic maternal inheritance as well as clinical and histopathological signs similar to LHON in humans. Live animals with the mutation could be used as a suitable animal model that can improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of LHON and other mitochondriopathies."

Breed: Cikasto govedo, Slovenia (Cattle) (VBO_0005270).

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.
