Cross-species summary: The mouse homologue of this disorder is the beige coat-colour mutation, which is a mutation in the gene for lysosomal trafficking regulator, Lyst. As its name suggests, this gene is involved in lysosomal functioning - lysosomes being the digestive system of the cell. Thus Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a lysosomal disorder.

Species-specific description: Perou et al. (1996) isolated a 500-kb YAC clone containing the mouse beige gene, and showed that it complements a cell line from beige mice. This transformed mouse cell line then complemented the Chediak-Higashi phenotype when introduced into fibroblasts from affected mink.

Mapping: Using two microsatellites derived from a contig that includes the most likely comparative functional candidate gene (LYST), Anistoroaei et al. (2013) linkage-mapped the microsatellites, and hence LYST, in American mink to the centromeric region of chromosome NVI2. These authors also reported that the "physical locations [of the microsatellies] also were confirmed on the basis of sequence homology aided by the Zoo-FISH data" (Hameister et al., Chromosome Research 1997, 5, 5–11; Graphodatsky et al. 2000 Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics 90, 275–8)

Molecular basis: From sequencing of the most likely comparative functional candidate gene, Anistoroaei et al. (2013) reported the causal mutation to be "a base deletion (c.9468delC) in exon 40 of LYST, which causes a frameshift and virtually terminates the LYST product prematurely (p.Leu3156Phefs*37)".

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.
