Cross-species summary: A disorder characterised by cardiac enlargement (especially of the left ventricle), poor myocardial contractility, and congestive heart failure. This disorder occurs in many different forms (see gene specific entries), some of which are not inherited.

Molecular basis: Biesiadecki et al. (2002) reported "that turkeys with inherited dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure express an unusual low molecular weight cardiac troponin T missing 11 amino acids due to the splice out of the normally conserved exon 8-encoded segment. The deletion of a 9-bp segment from intron 7 of the turkey cardiac troponin T gene may be responsible for the weakened splicing of the downstream exon 8 during mRNA processing. The exclusion of the exon 8-encoded segment results in conformational changes in cardiac troponin T, an altered binding affinity for troponin I and tropomyosin, and an increased calcium sensitivity of the actomyosin ATPase. Expression of the exon 8-deleted cardiac troponin T prior to the development of cardiomyopathy in turkeys indicates a novel RNA splicing disease and provides evidence for the role of troponin T structure-function variation in myocardial pathogenesis and heart failure."

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.
