OMIA:000359-9615 : Eyelid gland, third, prolapse of in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

In other species: domestic cat

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Also known as Prolapsed nictitating membrane gland (PNMG) or cherry eye

Mapping: Freyer et al. (2024) "several thousand cases and controls for cherry eye in both purebred dogs and mixed breeds [were] used for a large-scale GWAS, revealing a single peak of genome-wide significance on canine chromosome 18, directly at the location of the previously identified FGF4 insertion [FGF4L1] known to cause chondrodysplasia in several breeds."

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

Breeds: American Cocker Spaniel (Dog) (VBO_0200038), Boston Terrier (Dog) (VBO_0200204), English Bulldog (Dog) (VBO_0200485), French Bulldog (Dog) (VBO_0201455), Great Dane (Dog) (VBO_0200623), Italian Cane Corso (Dog) (VBO_0200712), Lhasa Apso (Dog) (VBO_0200824), Neapolitan Mastiff (Dog) (VBO_0200930).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
