Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 190330 (trait) , 165190 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2014

Cross-species summary: Long hair = angora

Inheritance: Autosomal recessive (Fukuta et al., 1993)

Molecular basis: Yoshizawa et al. (2016) "detected a c.546delG of Fgf5 . . . that might lead to truncation resulting from a frame shift in FGF5 (p.Arg184GlyfsX6). Additionally, [homozygosity for this variant] . . . was only detected in long-haired . . . progenies, and all homozygous wild and heterozygous . . . individuals showed normal hair length. . . . To our knowledge, this report is the first to present the sexual dimorphism of hair length caused by the Fgf5 mutation."

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

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.
