A splice site variant in the <i><scp>SUV</scp>39H2</i> gene in Greyhounds with nasal parakeratosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hereditary nasal parakeratosis (HNPK), described in the Labrador Retriever breed, is a monogenic autosomal recessive disorder that causes crusts and fissures on the nasal planum of otherwise healthy dogs. Our group previously showed that this genodermatosis may be caused by a missense variant located in the SUV39H2 gene encoding a histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferase, a chromatin modifying enzyme with a potential role in keratinocyte differentiation. In the present study, we investigated a litter of Greyhounds in which six out of eight puppies were affected with parakeratotic lesions restricted to the nasal planum. Clinically and histologically, the lesions were comparable to HNPK in Labrador Retrievers. Whole genome sequencing of one affected Greyhound revealed a 4-bp deletion at the 5'-end of intron 4 of the SUV39H2 gene that was absent in 188 control dog and three wolf genomes. The variant was predicted to disrupt the 5'-splice site with subsequent loss of SUV39H2 function. The six affected puppies were homozygous for the variant, whereas the two non-affected littermates were heterozygous. Genotyping of a larger cohort of Greyhounds revealed that the variant is segregating in the breed and that this breed might benefit from genetic testing to avoid carrier × carrier matings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
