OMIA:003002-9913 : Auditory-pigmentary syndrome, GRID1-related in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

Categories: Pigmentation phene , Hearing / vestibular / ear phene , Growth / size / body region phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 610659 (gene)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2025

Species-specific name: short stature–auditory depigmentation syndrome; coat colour white

Molecular basis: Jacinto et al. (2025) used "a trio-based whole-genome sequencing approach" to identify "a likely pathogenic missense variant in GRID1 (XP_024842694.1:p.Pro489His) [omia.variant:1831] in [a Simmental animal] with short stature-auditory depigmentation syndrome".

Clinical features: Jacinto et al. (2025) reported that the affected Simmental animal "had a predominantly white coat with isolated areas of residual pigmentation, proportionate short stature, brachygnathia, and reduced responsiveness to auditory stimuli".

Breed: Simmental (Cattle) (VBO_0000380).
Breeds in which the phene or likely causal variants have been documented. If a likely causal variant has been documented, see variant-specific breed information in the variant table. (Breed information may be incomplete).

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.
