OMIA:000662-9940 : Motor neuron disease, lower in Ovis aries (sheep)

In other species: dog , horse , pig , South Island takahe

Categories: Nervous system phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2012

Molecular basis: Genome-wide homozygosity mapping in a family in which this disorder was segregating led to Zhao et al. (2012) discovering the causal mutation as a "missense mutation c.2909G>C on exon 21 of AGTPBP1" which results in "an Arg to Pro substitution (p.Arg970Pro) at amino acid 970, which is a conserved residue for the catalytic activity of AGTPBP1". The authors also report that "The ATP/GTP-binding protein 1 gene (Agtpbp1) has been shown to be related to Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) phenotypes including ataxia in mice."

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

Breed: Romney Marsh (Sheep) (VBO_0001582).

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.
