Boxer — Ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death (hereditary; OMIA-verified breed predisposition)
Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) breed-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.
Claims
Breed: Boxer (Dog)Disorder:Defect: yesPrevalence: Meurs et al. (2019): the variant was significantly associated with the arrhythmia in the Rhodesian Ridgeback family (p = 0.001) and was identified as homozygous in the affected offspring and heterozygous in both of the parents.
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 388245149 (no symbol in OMIA GeneSynonym) — OMIA Phene_Gene
- OMIA molecular-genetics note: Meurs et al. (2019): "A single missense G/A variant in the QIL1 [also called MICOS13, C20H19ORF70] gene was associated with the cardiac arrhythmia (p < 0.0001). The variant was predicted to change the amino acid from conserved Glycine to Serine and to be deleterious."
