OMIA:002318-9913 : Coat colour, dilution, FZD7-related in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 603410 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2021

Species-specific name: milca coat colour

Species-specific description: Floriot et al. (2021) "A total of 106 affected animals were reported to the French National Observatory for Bovine Abnormalities (ONAB, https://www.onab.fr/, Grohs et al. 2016). The first case reported to the ONAB was a cow born in 2008. At birth, the affected animals, which are otherwise healthy, present a dilution of the pigmented, normally red, areas of the coat .... To search for the causative genetic factors responsible for this genetic condition, a genome-wide homozygosity scan followed by whole-genome sequence data analysis was performed."

Mapping: Floriot et al. (2021): "A genome-wide homozygosity scan of 106 cases followed by haplotype analysis revealed a candidate region within BTA2 between positions 89.95 and 91.63 Mb."

Molecular basis: Floriot et al. (2021): "Analysis of whole-genome sequence data generated from milca animals identified a strong candidate variant within the coding region of the Frizzled-7 gene (FZD7). This gene encodes for a G-protein coupled receptor for Wnt signaling proteins. The variant induces a glycine to alanine substitution in the second extracellular loop, p.(Gly414Ala)."

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

Prevalence: Floriot et al. (2021): "genotyping data revealed that the mutant allele is restricted to the Montbeliarde breed, at a 3.7% frequency."

Breed: Montbéliarde (Cattle) (VBO_0000306).

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.
