Cross-species summary: Also called Pompe disease, Pompe's disease, acid maltase deficiency, and generalised glycogenesis type II. A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of glycogen, due to the lack of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, whose task is to break down glycogen into its constituent glucose molecules. Characterised by poor growth, incoordination, muscle weakness and eventual recumbency.

Molecular basis: Rakib et al. (2023): "A homozygous missense mutation (GAA:c.1799G>A, p.R600H) was identified as a candidate pathogenic mutation" in "an eight-month-old domestic short-haired cat" . . . "All control samples [100 clinically healthy cats] were homozygous for the wild-type genotype (c.1799G/G), whereas only the cat with PD was homozygous for the mutant genotype (c.1799A/A)".

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

Clinical features: Rakib et al. (2023): "This is the first report of a cat with PD carrying the same mutation as reported in a case of human classical IOPD [infantile-onset PD]. The clinical and histological findings in this cat with PD were similar to those in humans with IOPD."

Breed: Domestic Shorthair.

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.
