Abstract
Spondin-2 (SPON2), also referred to as M-spondin or DIL-1, is a member of the extracellular matrix protein family known as Mindin-F-spondin (FS). SPON2 can be used as a broad-spectrum tumor marker for more than a dozen tumors, mainly prostate cancer. Meanwhile, SPON2 is also a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of certain non-tumor diseases. Additionally, SPON2 plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor metastasis and progression. In normal tissues, SPON2 has a variety of biological functions represented by promoting growth and development and cell proliferation. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms, diagnostic potential as a broad-spectrum biomarker, diverse biological functions, involvement in various signaling pathways, and clinical applications of SPON2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to determine the inheritance pattern and genetic cause of congenital radial hemimelia (RH) in cats. METHODS Clinical and genetic analyses were conducted on a Siamese cat family (n = 18), including two siblings with RH. Radiographs were obtained for the affected kittens and echocardiograms of an affected kitten and sire. Whole genome sequencing was completed on the two cases and the parents. Genomic data were compared with the 99 Lives Cat Genome data set of 420 additional domestic cats with whole genome and whole exome sequencing data. Variants were considered as homozygous in the two cases of the siblings with RH and heterozygous in the parents. Candidate variants were genotyped by Sanger sequencing in the extended pedigree. RESULTS Radiographs of the female kitten revealed bilateral absence of the radii and bowing of the humeri, while the male kitten showed a dysplastic right radius. Echocardiography suggested the female kitten had restrictive cardiomyopathy with a positive left atrial-to-aortic root ratio (LA:Ao = 1.83 cm), whereas hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was more likely in the sire, showing diastolic dysfunction using tissue Doppler imaging (59.06 cm/s). Twenty-two DNA variants were unique and homozygous in the affected kittens and heterozygous in the parents. Seven variants clustered in one chromosomal region, including two frameshift variants in cardiomyopathy associated 5 (CMYA5) and five variants in junction mediating and regulatory protein, P53 cofactor (JMY ), including a missense and an in-frame deletion. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The present study suggested an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance with variable expression for RH in the Siamese cat family. Candidate variants for the phenotype were identified, implicating their roles in bone development. These genes should be considered as potentially causal for other cats with RH. Siamese cat breeders should consider genetically testing their cats for these variants to prevent further dissemination of the suspected variants within the breed.

In it for the long run: perspectives on exploiting long-read sequencing in livestock for population scale studies of structural variants. Genet Sel Evol 2023; 55:9. [PMID: 36721111 PMCID: PMC9887926 DOI: 10.1186/s12711-023-00783-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that structural variants (SV) play a substantial role in the evolution of species and have an impact on Mendelian traits in the genome. However, unlike small variants (< 50 bp), it has been challenging to accurately identify and genotype SV at the population scale using short-read sequencing. Long-read sequencing technologies are becoming competitively priced and can address several of the disadvantages of short-read sequencing for the discovery and genotyping of SV. In livestock species, analysis of SV at the population scale still faces challenges due to the lack of resources, high costs, technological barriers, and computational limitations. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the characterization of SV in the major livestock species, the obstacles that still need to be overcome, as well as the future directions in this growing field. It seems timely that research communities pool resources to build global population-scale long-read sequencing consortiums for the major livestock species for which the application of genomic tools has become cost-effective.

Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13010102. [PMID: 35052442 PMCID: PMC8775186 DOI: 10.3390/genes13010102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Genetic analysis of the hair-length of Sapsaree dogs, a Korean native dog breed, showed a dominant mode of inheritance for long hair. Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) analysis and subsequent Mendelian segregation analysis revealed an association between OXR1, RSPO2, and PKHD1L1 on chromosome 13 (CFA13). We identified the previously reported 167 bp insertion in RSPO2 3’ untranslated region as a causative mutation for hair length variations. The analysis of 118 dog breeds and wolves revealed the selection signature on CFA13 in long-haired breeds. Haplotype analysis showed the association of only a few specific haplotypes to the breeds carrying the 167 bp insertion. The genetic diversity in the neighboring region linked to the insertion was higher in Sapsarees than in other Asian and European dog breeds carrying the same variation, suggesting an older history of its insertion in the Sapsaree genome than in that of the other breeds analyzed in this study. Our results show that the RSPO2 3’ UTR insertion is responsible for not only the furnishing phenotype but also determining the hair length of the entire body depending on the genetic background, suggesting an epistatic interaction between FGF5 and RSPO2 influencing the hair-length phenotype in dogs.
