Cross-species summary: This disorder is a lysosomal storage disease, caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase.

Molecular basis: By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous disorder in other species), Berman et al. (2004) were the first to report a molecular basis of this disorder, as follows: "When the DNA coding sequence from miniature pinschers affected with MPS VI was compared to the normal canine sequence, a single missense mutation (G to A) was identified. This mutation, occurring in exon V, replaces the tiny amino acid glycine with a bulky arginine in a highly conserved region of the protein and is found only in affected dogs." This result was finally published in a refereed paper by Raj et al. (2020). Jolly et al. (2012) reported a different mutation in a Miniature Poodle-type of dog: "A novel homozygous 22 base pair (bp) deletion in exon 1 of this enzyme's [ARSB] gene was identified (c.103_124del), which caused a frameshift and subsequent premature stop codon." Pérez et al. (2015) reported an affected Miniature Schnauzer homozygous for the same variant as reported by Berman et al. (2004). Wang et al. (2017) reported an affected Great Dane homozygous for a "nonsense mutation (c.295C>T) in exon 1, replacing glutamine with a premature stop codon (p.Gln99*), predicting no enzyme synthesis". Raj et al. (2020): "A missense variant (NM_001048133.1:c.910G>A) was found in exon 5 of MPS VI‐affected Miniature Pinschers that is predicted to result in a deleterious amino acid substitution of a highly conserved glycine to arginine (NP_001041598.1:p.Gly304Arg). In MPS VI‐affected Miniature Schnauzers, a 56 bp deletion (NM_001048133.1:c.‐24_32del) was found at the junction of exon 1 and its upstream region, predicting no enzyme synthesis. All clinically affected Miniature Pinschers and Miniature Schnauzers were homozygous for the respective variants, and screened healthy dogs in each breed were either heterozygous or homozygous for the wt allele."

Prevalence: Raj et al. (2020): "Over the past 17 years, a total of 425 Miniature Pinschers and two mixed‐breed dogs from the USA, Canada and UK were genotyped; of them 18 (4.2%) were homozygous for the missense variant [c.910G>A], including two mixed‐breed dogs, 78 (18.3%) were heterozygous and 331 (77.5%) were homozygous for the wt allele. All of the genotyped Miniature Pinschers that had clinical signs consistent with MPS VI were homozygous for the missense variant. . . . Whereas the Miniature Pinscher variant seemed to occur commonly (0.133 allele frequency), the Miniature Schnauzer variant was presumed to be rare"

Breeds: Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Dog) (VBO_0200326), Great Dane (Dog) (VBO_0200623), Miniature Pinscher (Dog) (VBO_0200893), Miniature Schnauzer (Dog) (VBO_0200896), Poodle, Miniature (Dog) (VBO_0201051), Poodle, Toy (Dog) (VBO_0201061), Welsh Corgi (Dog) (VBO_0201406).

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.
