Mapping: Sargan et al. (2007) conducted a genome scan with 364 microsatellites on "23 PLL-affected miniature bull terriers, together with an equal number of obligate PLL carriers with no luxation, and also 23 PLL-affected Lancashire heeler, with an equal number of obligate carriers with no luxation". A linkage analysis highlighted "a 6.3-Mbp region in the central part of chromosome 3". By conducting a GWAS on 28 affected and 20 control Jack Russell Terriers, each genotyped with the CanineSNP20 BeadChip, Farias et al. (2010) highlighted the same region on chromosome CFA3 as identified by Sargan et al. (2008). Subsequent fine-mapping narrowed the region to a 664kb segment harbouring the positional candidate gene ADAMTS17.

Molecular basis: By sequencing the positional candidate gene ADAMTS17, Farias et al. (2010) identified the causal mutation as "a G→A transition at c.1473+1, which destroys the splice donor recognition site in intron 10". Gould et al. (2011) "screened 121 dogs of 30 different breeds that were clinically affected with PLL for the previously described ADAMTS17 mutation [OMIA variant:365]. ... In addition to the three previously reported breeds we identified at least one dog of each of 14 different breeds that was homozygous for the ADAMTS17 mutation and clinically affected (Australian Cattle dog, Chinese crested dog, Jagdterrier [also known as the German hunt terrier], Parson Russell terrier, Patterdale terrier, Rat terrier, Sealyham terrier, Tenterfield terrier, Tibetan terrier, Toy fox terrier, Volpino Italiano, Welsh terrier, Wire-haired fox terrier, Yorkshire terrier). Oliver et al. (2018): "All affected [Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary lens luxation (PLL), or both] Shar-Pei were homozygous for a 6-bp deletion in exon 22 of ADAMTS17 predicted to affect the resultant protein. All unaffected Shar-Pei were heterozygous or homozygous for the wild-type allele. The variant sequence was significantly associated with affected status (diagnosis of POAG, PLL, or both). All dogs of other breeds were homozygous for the wild-type allele. The cDNA sequencing confirmed presence of the expected variant mRNA sequence in ocular tissue from the affected dog only. Gene expression analysis revealed a 4.24-fold decrease in the expression of ADAMTS17 in ocular tissue from the affected dog."

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

Clinical features: The clinical features associated with primary lens luxation (PLL) are changes to eye lens stability in both eyes, with varying severity of clinical signs associated with each eye. PLL typically goes undetected until the lens displaces in one eye. Dogs typically present with concurrent partial lens displacement of the other eye, which progresses into full displacement weeks to months later (Farias et al., 2010; Colitz & O’Connell, 2015). The lens usually moves anteriorly causing disruption to the pupil and draining mechanism in the eye, leading to acute glaucoma (Gould et al., 2011; Gharahkhani et al., 2015). IT thanks DVM student Zoe Levesque, who provided the basis of this contribution in May 2023.

Prevalence: Tzouganakis et al. (2022) genotyped 82 Portuguese Podengo dogs in the UK genotyping for the ADAMTS17:c.1473+1G>A mutation. The allele frequency for the variant was estimated calculated as 0.09.

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.
