Airedale Terrier — Haemophilia B (hereditary; OMIA-verified breed predisposition)

Claims

  • Breed: Airedale Terrier (Dog)
  • Disorder:
  • Mode of inheritance: X-linked recessive
  • Clin feat: Haemophilia B is characterised by frequent and spontaneous bleeding into joints, muscles, and body cavities, such as the chest and abdomen, due to a deficiency in factor IX (FIX, F9) (Nichols et al., 2020). This can eventually lead to arthropathy associated with progressive cartilage damage, chronic pain, lameness, and eventually joint destruction (Nichols et al., 2020). Prolonged bleeding from minor wounds and haemorrhagic complications post-surgery may also be observed (Nichols et al., 2010). Disease can be classified into mild, moderate, or severe based on plasma FIX levels with 60-70% of patients having a moderate or severe form (Nichols et al., 2020). Animals with the severe form (lt;1% coagulation activity) can have bleeding episodes that are life threatening. Most carriers have a reduced FIX activity of 40-60% but do not exhibit spontaneous bleeding (Nakata et al., 2006). IT thanks DVM student Ruby Xu, who provided the basis of this contribution in May 2023.

Associated gene(s)

Derived from OMIA database dump (omia.xml, local); structured field, not verbatim prose. First-hand values below are verbatim substrings of the topic's pdf-raw/omia/<phene_id>.txt source file.

  • Gene: Entrez Gene ID 404015 (no symbol in OMIA GeneSynonym) — OMIA Phene_Gene
  • OMIA molecular-genetics note: The causative mutation for this disorder was discovered via the candidate gene approach, by Evans et al. (1989), who reported that the mutant allele in the Chapel Hill Cairn Terrier colony is c.1477G&gt;A, resulting in the substitution of glutamic acid for glycine at codon 379 in the factor-IX peptide. This particular site has been highly conserved throughout evolution: there is a glycine at this …
