Frequency of the canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (CLAD) mutation among Irish red setters in Germany

Abstract: Canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (CLAD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease occurring among Irish red setters. The genetic defect causative for this disorder was recently identified as a missense mutation in the ITGB2 gene. Irish red setters with one copy of the mutant gene appear normal, while dogs with two copies of the mutant gene manifest the disease. The present report describes the analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism in 289 Irish red setters by DNA sequencing. The frequency of CLA… Show more

“…The mutation was found in all ten countries included in the study (Kijas et al, 2000). Other studies estimated mutant allele frequencies between 7.6% and 13.0% in the USA (Foureman et al, 2002), 7.6% in Australia (Jobling et al, 2003) and 11.0% in Germany (Pfeiffer and Brenig, 2005). The frequency of the CLAD-mutation in the Belgian population has apparently been reduced to near zero during the last 15 years, which is proof of the efficiency of using DNA-testing to decrease genetic disorders.…”

“…Furthermore, variations in the circulating lymphocyte subpopulations [42], and polymorphisms in cytokine genes involved in the regulation of Th1/Th2 balance, such as interleukin-10 [43], could contribute to non-responding. Finally, primary immunodeficiency syndromes can be responsible for non-responding, such as canine leucocyte adhesion deficiency, e. g., in Setters [44][45][46][47]. It is unknown whether humoral non-responders have also impaired cellular immune responses, and thus generally a higher risk for acquiring disease.…”

“…From a clinical standpoint, knowledge of the frequency of the mutated allele is valuable for establishing the relative importance of the disease among similar syndromes. 8 Since, to the authors' knowledge, these data are not available, a study was undertaken to ascertain the frequency of the allele responsible for CNM as well as to estimate the prevalence of the disease using a convenience-sample population of Labrador Retrievers examined for unrelated complaints at the Veterinary Clinical Department of the University of Bologna (Ozzano dell'Emilia, Bologna, Italy) or at a commercial laboratory over a period of 8 years known to be affected with CNM. Nucleic acids were purified using a commercial extraction kit, a following the manufacturer's instructions with minimal modifications.…”
