OMIA:002210-9823 : Hypothyroidism, congenital, DUOX2-related in Sus scrofa (pig)

Categories: Endocrine / exocrine gland phene (incl mammary gland)

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 607200 (trait) , 606759 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2019

History: This single-locus disorder is one of 10 created by the use of ENU mutagenesis, i.e. mutagenesis of sperm via injection of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea into young boars, as reported by Hai et al. (2017).

Mapping: Cao et al. (2019) mapped this disorder to a region on "chromosome 1 (118-160 Mb) . . . which included 374 annotated genes."

Molecular basis: Whole-exome sequencing of two homozygous-mutant pigs, followed by filtering and segregation analysis, enabled Cao et al. (2019) to identify the likely causal variant as "(c.1226 A>G) that resulted in a highly conserved amino acid substitution (D409G) . . . in the DUOX2 gene. This mutation, located within an exonic splicing enhancer motif, caused aberrant splicing of DUOX2 transcripts and resulted in lower H2O2 production, which might cause a severe defect in thyroid hormone production."

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

Clinical features: Cao et al. (2019) reported that affected pigs had "congenital nude skin and thyroid deficiency".

Breed: Bama Xiang Zhu, China (Pig) (VBO_0012741).

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.
