OMIA:000595-89462 : Leukocyte adhesion deficiency, type I in Bubalus bubalis |
In other species: cattle , dog , domestic cat
Categories: Immune system phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 116920 (trait) , 600065 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases:
Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown
Considered a defect: yes
Cross-species summary: Affected animals die because of extreme susceptibility to infections, caused by an inability of white blood cells (leukocytes) to pass from the blood stream into infected tissue. This inability is due to the lack of a membrane glycoprotein called the leukocyte integrin beta-2 subunit or CD18.
Species-specific description: This disorder has not yet been reported in this species. The purpose of this entry is to record the study by Sharma et al. (2009) showing that none of the mutations in ITGB2 that cause the disorder in cattle, are present in the buffalo they sampled.
