Species-specific name: Suri
Species-specific description: Palotti et al. (2024): "Two phenotypes are described for alpaca, known as huacaya and suri. Huacaya fleece is characterized by compact, soft, and highly crimped fibers, while suri fleece is longer, straight, less crimped, and lustrous."
Inheritance: Palottie et al. (2024): "Segregation studies suggested that two linked loci must simultaneously be homozygous for recessive alleles to produce the huacaya phenotype while the suri phenotype is determined by the presence of a dominant allele at either locus [Presciuttini et al., 2010]." Palottie et al. (2024) propose a domiannt mode of inheritance.
Mapping: More et al. (2023) aimed to identify "candidate genomic regions associated with fiber diameter in [Huacaya] alpacas. ... Four candidate regions with adjacent SNPs identified via two association methods of analysis are located on VPA6, VPA9, VPA29 and one chromosomally unassigned scaffold." Tan et al. (2024) mapped differences in Suri and Huacaya fleece type to "chromosome 16 (NW_021964192.1), which contains a cluster of keratin genes. A haplotype predominantly found in Suri alpacas has been identified which supports dominant inheritance. Variant filtering of nine whole-genome sequenced alpacas from both fleece types in the critical interval of 0.4 Mb did not reveal perfect segregation of either fleece type for specific variants."
Molecular basis: Palotti et al. (2024): "a premature termination codon (PTC) due to C > T substitution (p.Arg167*) was identified in FGF5 (fibroblast growth factor 5), a gene involved in the elongation of the fibre [Pallotti et al., 2018], and genome-wide studies found selection signals on this gene [Fan et al., 2020; Palotti et al., 2023]. Nevertheless, such variant was observed in both phenotypes and, although it may explain the coat differences observed between alpaca and its wild ancestor, it cannot account alone for the differences observed between suri and huacaya coats. ... The analysis of gene variant segregation with the suri phenotype, coupled with the filtering of gene variants present in the wild species, disclosed the presence in all the suri samples of a premature termination codon (PTC) in TRPV3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3), a gene known to be involved in hair growth and cycling, thermal sensation, cold tolerance and adaptation in several species. ... This PTC in TRPV3, due to a G > T substitution [c.1423G>T] (p.Glu475*), results in a loss of 290 amino acids from the canonical translated protein, plausibly leading to a physiological dysfunction."

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.
