Cross-species summary: Blisters on the outer layer of skin.

Mapping: Menoud et al. (2012) "localized the causative mutation to an 18 Mb interval on chromosome 22 by homozygosity mapping".

Molecular basis: In a sign of the times, Menoud et al. (2012) needed only three affected Rotes Höhenvieh calves to identify the causative mutation of this disorder as being a "SNP in the bovine COL7A1 exon 49 (c.4756C>T) . . . which causes a premature stop codon which leads to a truncated protein representing a complete loss of COL7A1 function (p.R1586*)" Independently of the above discovery, Pausch et al. (2016) discovered exactly the same likely causal variant (now recognised to be BTA22:g.51873390C>T [UMD3.1]; c.4762C>T; p.Arg1588X) in the Vorderwald breed, for which there is no documented admixture with the Rotes Höhenvieh breed, leading them to conclude "that deleterious alleles may segregate across cattle breeds without any documented admixture".

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

Breeds: Rotes Höhenvieh, Germany (Cattle) (VBO_0004642), Vorderwälder, Germany (Cattle) (VBO_0004645).

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.
