Cross-species summary: Congenital polyneuropathy due to underproduction of myelin, which is exclusively affecting the peripheral nervous system. Similar to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in humans.

Species-specific name: congenital hypomyelinating polyneuropathy; HPN

Species-specific description: Cook et al. (2023): “Congenital hypomyelinating polyneuropathy (HPN) restricted to the peripheral nervous system was reported in 1989 in two Golden Retriever (GR) littermates [see OMIA:001292-9615 : Polyneuropathy, generic in Canis lupus familiaris]. Recently, four additional cases of congenital HPN in young, unrelated GRs were diagnosed via neurological examination, electrodiagnostic evaluation, and peripheral nerve pathology.”

Molecular basis: Cook et al. (2023): “Whole-genome sequencing was performed on all four [affected Golden Retriever] …, and variants from each dog were compared to variants found across >1,000 other dogs, all presumably unaffected with HPN. Likely causative variants were identified for each HPN-affected GR.” The authors identified 3 likely causal variants in functional candidate genes MTMR2, MPZ and SH3TC2. “Case 4 possessed a homozygous SH3TC2 (SH3 domain and tetratricopeptide repeats 2) variant in exon 11 of 17 … . This C to T nonsense mutation (CFA4: 60,798,310 (XP_038391009.1:p.Arg642*)) was private to Case 4 compared to 1,026 other dogs with WGS data available … .” Please see the gene specific OMIA entries for details about the other variants.

Breed: Golden Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200610).

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.
