Cross-species summary: This form of T−B−NK+ SCID is known as Radiation-Sensitive-SCID or RS-SCID

History: This naturally occurring form of SCID was first reported by Basel et al. (2012) and Ozuna et al. (2013, having occurred in a selection line of Yorkshire pigs (Cai et al., 2008).

Inheritance: Waide et al. (2015) presented evidence indicative of autosomal recessive inheritance.

Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on "six carrier parents, 20 SCID affected piglets, 50 unaffected littermates of the SCID piglets, and 96 ancestors of these animals", each genotyped with more than 60,000 SNPs via the Illumina porcine SNP60 chip, Waide et al. (2015) mapped this disorder to a 5.6Mb region of chromosome SSC10.

Molecular basis: Noting that the candidate region on SSC10 includes the Artemis gene (DCLRE1C), which encodes a DNA repair enzyme, mutations in which cause the same disorder in humans and mice, Waide et al. (2015) sequenced the cDNA and some intronic regions of this positional candidate gene, revealing "a splice donor site mutation in intron 8 (g.51578763 G→A)" (which leads to the deletion of exon 8, and, consequently, "a protein missing 47 aa of the predicted full-length 712-aa Artemis protein"), and "a G→A nonsense point mutation at g.51584489 that changes the tryptophan amino acid codon at position 267 to a stop codon". Waide et al. (2015) provided strong evidence that homozygosity for either mutation or compound heterozygosity for both mutations causes this disorder.

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

Clinical features: As summarised by Waide et al. (2015), "Necropsy of four piglets that died abnormally early in a viral challenge study showed that they lacked functional adaptive immune systems [Ozuna et al., 2013]. In subsequent work, we [Basel et al., 2012] demonstrated that these immunodeficient pigs failed to reject human cancer cells, and Ewen et al. (2014) reported minimal circulating B and T cells but normal amounts of NK cells in a preliminary analysis of these SCID pigs."

Breed: Yorkshire (Pig) (VBO_0001212).

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.
