Species-specific name: Congenital photosensitivity and hyperbilirubinaemia
Species-specific description: A recessive disease characterized by congenital photosensitivity and hyperbilirubinaemia has been described in Southdown sheep in New Zealand (Cunningham et al., 1942) and the USA (Cornelius and Gronwall, 1968). Cornelius (1970) proposed that the disease is similar to Gilbert syndrome (listed in OMIA as OMIA:000496-9940 : Hyperbilirubinaemia I in Ovis aries), but identification of the causal variant by Posberg et al. (2018) identified that these sheep are a model for human Rotor syndrome. References relating to the disease have been moved from OMIA:000496-9940 to this entry [19/08/2023].
Inheritance: Breeding trials in New Zealand Southdown sheep revealed a recessive mode of inheritance (Hancock, 1950).
Molecular basis: Posberg et al. (2018) investigated "the genetic cause for congenital photosensitivity and hyperbilirubinemia (CPH) in Southdown sheep. ... Whole-genome sequencing was performed for a phenotypically normal Southdown sheep heterozygous for CPH. ... A nonsynonymous mutation at ovine Chr3:193,691,195, which generated a glycine-to-arginine amino acid change within the predicted Slco1b3 protein, was significantly associated with hyperbilirubinemia and predicted to be deleterious."
Clinical features: The primary clinical sign is photosensitive facial dermatitis, due to the associated defect in liver uptake of phyllorerythrin. Signs first appear at around 6-8 weeks of age, when lambs begin to eat grass. If not protected from sunlight, affected lambs develop severe dermatitis, mostly around the face and ears, which becomes infected, and eventually sloughs. Death (usually with 2-3 weeks) is a result of starvation and exhaustion (Hancock, 1950). If the lambs are protected from sunlight, they eventually die within five years, from renal failure (Cuppage et al., 1979). The cause of this renal dysfunction is not known.

Pathology: Post-mortem reveals green and yellow discolouration of tissues, testicular atrophy, renal fibrosis, and pulmonary oedema and ascites. No gross hepatic lesions are evident. The only remarkable histopathological finding is lipofuscin accumulation in hepatocytes (McGavin, 1972). The absence of gross structural liver abnormalities helps differentiate this disorder from other forms of secondary hepatic photosensitisation, such as facial eczema. [Researched by Philippa Beard]

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.
