Mapping: By conducting a GWAS on 20 affected, 28 related normal and 48 unrelated normal Churra sheep, each of which had been genotyped with the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip (yielding 44,785 informative SNPs), Suárez-Vega et al. (2015) mapped this disorder to chromosome OAR11, in the vicinity of marker rs410387229 at 54,939,690 bp (OARv3.1). Subsequent homozygosity mapping narrowed the region to "an 868-kb homozygous segment, from 54,632,309–55,500,100 bp". This implicated a very likely comparative locational candidate gene, namely ITGB4.
Molecular basis: Small deletion in Churra sheep: "a 4-bp deletion within exon 33 of the ITGB4 gene (c.4412_4415del;[ OAR11:54,849,767–54,849,770 bp; Oar v3.1]). The c.4412_4415del mutation causes a frameshift resulting in a premature stop codon at position 1472 of the integrin β4 protein" (Suárez-Vega et al., 2015) Fabre et al. (2020) conducted whole genome sequencing of 2 unrelated affected French Mouton Vendeen lambs and 1 unaffected fullsib. Analysis of variants identified in 13 candidate genes “identified a novel SNP (OAR11_v4.0, g.54799925G>A) in exon 23 of the ITGB4 gene … whose variant allele causes a premature stop codon (p.Arg885*).” The variant segregated with the junctional epidermolysis bullosa phenotype in six affected lambs, 7 parents and 4 unaffected full-sib lambs (Fabre et al., 2020).
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
Prevalence: Genotyping for the g.54799925G>A variant in the French Mouton Vendeen meat sheep breed identified estimated allele frequencies of 6.3% in renewal ewe lambs, 5.2% for service rams and 6% in adult ewes (Fabre et al., 2020).
Breeds:
Mouton vendéen, France (Sheep) (VBO_0015497),
Spanish Churro (Sheep) (VBO_0001619).

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.
