Inheritance: Kier et al. (1980) provided evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance and reported the establishment of a colony at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, derived from a gift of breeding animals from a colony established at Kansas University by Dr Bresnahan (Bender et al., 2015).

Molecular basis: Bender et al. (2015) characterised the obvious functional and comparative candidate gene for this disorder, namely the gene for factor XII, in cats: "Fourteen exons ranging in size from 57 to 222 base pairs were confirmed spanning 8 Kb on chromosome A1. The 1828–base pair feline FXII messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence contains an open reading frame that encodes a protein of 609 amino acids with high homology to human FXII protein." Subsequent sequencing in normal and affected cats identified a "single base deletion in exon 11 of the FXII coding gene in our colony of cats results in deficient FXII activity. Translation of the mRNA transcript shows a frame shift at L441 (C441fsX119) resulting in a nonsense mutation and a premature stop codon with a predicted 560–amino acid protein. The mutant FXII protein is truncated in the 3′ proteolytic light chain region of the C-terminus, explaining its loss of enzymatic activity."

By sequencing the most likely candidate gene in 6 Japanese domestic short-hair cats (2 cats with severely reduced FXII activity (7.1 % and 9.3 %, respectively) and 4 cats with moderately reduced FXII activity (range 36.0 to 46.3 %)), Maruyama et al. (2017) identified a new likely causal variant in exon 13 of the F12 gene: "Cats with severely reduced FXII activity were homozygous" for a missense mutation c.1631G>C, p.G544A; "Cats with moderately reduced FXII activity were heterozygous for this mutation". These authors also reported that "Expression studies revealed reduced secretion of p.G544A mutant FXII protein from transfected HEK293 cells compared with wild type FXII."

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.
