Characterization of bovine TGM1 and exclusion as candidate gene for ichthyosis in Chianina.
Ichthyosis is a heterogeneous group of keratinization disorders reported both in human and animals. Two rare, inherited forms have been reported in cattle, both characterized by autosomal recessive transmission. Because mutations of transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene are associated with autosomal recessive ichthyosis in people, this gene was investigated as a candidate for the diseases in cattle. T...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and exclusion of porcine GUSB as a candidate gene for congenital hernia inguinalis/scrotalis
BACKGROUND Inguinal hernias are usually caused by a congenital defect, which occurs as a weakness of the inguinal canal. Porcine beta-glucuronidase gene (GUSB) was chosen as functional candidate gene because of its involvement in degradation of hyaluronan within gubernacular tissue during descent of testes. Since a genome-wide linkage analysis approach has shown evidence that two regions on por...
متن کاملExclusion of BMP6 as a candidate gene for cleidocranial dysplasia.
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant, generalized skeletal dysplasia in humans that has been mapped to the short arm of chromosome 6. We report linkage of a CCD mutation to 6p21 in a large family and exclude the bone morphogenetic protein 6 gene (BMP6) as a candidate for the disease by cytogenetic localization and genetic recombination. CCD was linked with a maximal two-point ...
متن کاملBovine cardiac troponin I gene (TNNI3) as a candidate gene for bovine dilated cardiomyopathy
The cardiac troponin complex, which is an important component of the contractile apparatus, is composed of the three subunits troponin I (TnI), troponin C (TnC) and troponin T (TnT). Troponin I is the inhibitory subunit and consists of three isoforms encoded by TNNI1, TNNI2 and TNNI3 genes, respectively. Due to the different types of cardiomyopathies caused by mutations in the TNNI3 gene and it...
