OMIA:002804-9544 : Germline mutation rate, MBD4-related in Macaca mulatta (Rhesus monkey)

Categories: Embryo phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 603574 (gene) , 619975 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2023

Molecular basis: Stendahl et al. (2023) "identified a rhesus macaque with a rare homozygous frameshift mutation in the gene methyl-CpG binding domain 4, DNA glycosylase (MBD4). MBD4 is responsible for the repair of C>T deamination mutations at CpG dinucleotides and has been linked to somatic hypermutation and cancer predisposition in humans. [The authors] show ... that MBD4-associated hypermutation also affects the germline: the 6 offspring of the MBD4-null dam have a 4-6-fold increase in de novo mutation burden."

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

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.
