Cross-species summary: This phene was originally named 'Rib and vertebral number' in OMIA
Markers: Zhong et al. (2021) analysed “expression levels of synapse differentiation inducing 1-like (SYNDIG1L) and unc-13 homolog C (UNC13C) genes in different tissues, while single-nucleotide polymorphisms … of UNC13C gene g.52919279C > T and SYNDIG1L gene g.82573325C > A in T14 and T13 were genotyped by the Sequenom MassARRAY® SNP assay, and association analysis was performed with the TVN [thoracic vertebral number]. … Association analysis showed that SNPs found in the UNC13C gene had no significant effects on TVN … . The polymorphism of SYNDIG1L g.82573325C > A was significantly correlated with the TVN in both STH [Small-tail Han sheep] ( P<0.05 ) and SNT [Sunite sheep] ( P<0.01 ). Taken together, the SYNDIG1L gene was related to thoracic vertebral development, and this variation may be potentially used as a molecular marker to select the multiple thoracic vertebrae in sheep.” Li et al. (2021) "performed high-throughput genome resequencing on multi-lumbar vertebrae (n = 18) and normal (n = 11) Duolang sheep ... . We found that the most significantly selective region were located in the 49.68-49.74 MB of chromosome 4 by selective-sweep analysis. We annotated this region and found that it contains SFRP4 which is known to regulate bone development. We further used the PCR-SSCP technology to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the putative candidate SFRP4 and found that the two SNPs (rs600370085:C > T and rs415133338: A > G) of this gene were significantly associated with the multi-lumbar vertebrae of Duolang sheep."
