Cross-species summary: PSE

Mapping: Duan et al. (2009) mapped a quantitative trait loci (QTL) for glycolytic potential on chromosome 3 in a White Duroc × Erhualian F2 intercross.

Molecular basis: Ma et al. (2014) “performed a systems genetic analysis to identify the causal variant underlying the [glycolytic potential] phenotype QTL (pQTL). We first conducted genome-wide association analyses in the F2 intercross and an F19 Sutai pig population. The QTL was then refined to an 180-kb interval based on the 2-LOD drop method. We then performed expression QTL (eQTL) mapping using muscle transcriptome data from 497 F2 animals. Within the QTL interval, only one gene (PHKG1) has a cis-eQTL that was colocolizated with pQTL peaked at the same SNP. …. Deep sequencing of PHKG1 revealed a point mutation (C>A) in a splice acceptor site of intron 9, resulting in a 32-bp deletion in the open reading frame and generating a premature stop codon. The aberrant transcript induces nonsense-mediated decay, leading to lower protein level and weaker enzymatic activity in affected animals. ... The mutation causes an increase of 43% in glycolytic potential and a decrease of>20% in water-holding capacity of pork.” Liu et al. (2019) investigated the occurrence of pale, soft and exudative meat in Luchuan X Duroc pigs. After excluding the well-known mutations in RYR1 and PRKAG3 they identified that the PHKG1 splice variant identified by Ma et al. (2014) caused PSE meat in this crossbred population.

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

Prevalence: Ma et al. (2014): “The unfavorable allele exists predominantly in Duroc-derived pigs.”

Breed: Duroc (Pig) (VBO_0001127).

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.
