OMIA:000735-9913 : Ocular squamous cell carcinoma in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

In other species: domestic cat , horse , goat , sheep

Categories: Neoplasm

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 278740 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Malignant new growth of squamous epithelial cells in the eye. Also called eye cancer.

Species-specific name: Bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma (BOSCC), eye cancer or cancer eye

Species-specific symbol: SCC

Mapping: Using a 700K SNP chip, Pausch et al. (2012) conducted a genome scan of 3,579 Flekvieh bulls with a total of 320,186 progeny classified for the extent of pigment surrounding the eyes "(ambilateral circumocular pigmentation, ACOP)", which has a strong genetic correlation with eye cancer. They identified 12 QTL regions on seven chromosomes, which in total accounted for 54% of the phenotypic variance in the proportion of daughters with ACOP.

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