Overo lethal white syndrome (OLWS) is an inherited syndrome of foals born to American Paint Horse parents of the overo coat-pattern lineage. Affected foals are totally or almost totally white and die within days from complications due to intestinal aganglionosis. Related conditions occur in humans and rodents in which mutations in the endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) gene are responsible. EDNRB is known to be involved in the developmental regulation of neural crest cells that become enteric… Expand

Familiar Hypopigmentation Syndrome in Sheep Associated with Homozygous Deletion of the Entire Endothelin Type-B Receptor Gene
TLDR
This is to the authors' knowledge the first description of an ENDRB gene deletion and associated clinical signs in a mammalian species different from humans and rodents. Expand
Allelic Heterogeneity at the Equine KIT Locus in Dominant White (W) Horses
TLDR
The results indicate that the dominant white color in Franches-Montagnes Horses is caused by a nonsense mutation in the KIT gene and that multiple independent mutations within this gene appear to be responsible for dominant white in several other modern horse populations. Expand
New test for endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) mutation genotyping in horses.
TLDR
A new technique based on mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) for simple detection of the EDNRB genotype in horses is developed. Expand
Validation of high-resolution melting analysis as a diagnostic tool for endothelin receptor B mutation in American Paint horses and allele frequency estimation.
TLDR
A high-resolution melting (HRM) genotyping assay was developed and validated to detect the OLWFS causative mutation and the frequency of heterozygotes among American Paint horses in Brazil, resulting in a fast, accurate, and precise diagnostic tool. Expand
Targeted analysis of four breeds narrows equine Multiple Congenital Ocular Anomalies locus to 208 kilobases
TLDR
The syndrome Multiple Congenital Ocular Anomalies (MCOA) is the collective name ascribed to heritable congenital eye defects in horses and one haplotype common to four breeds showed complete association to the disease. Expand
Endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) is not the causative gene of the English spotting locus in the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
TLDR
The protein encoded by POMC is a polypeptide hormone that is cleaved into several different products that are responsible for multiple biological and cellular functions including appetite, feeding behavior, and energy homeostasis. Expand
Genomic amplification of the caprine EDNRA locus might lead to a dose dependent loss of pigmentation
TLDR
It is proposed that ectopic overexpression of a mutant EDNRA scavenges EDN3 required for EDNRB signaling and normal melanocyte development and thus likely lead to an absence of melanocytes in the non-pigmented body areas of Boer goats. Expand
Pleiotropic effects of coat colour-associated mutations in humans, mice and other mammals.
The characterisation of the pleiotropic effects of coat colour-associated mutations in mammals illustrates that sensory organs and nerves are particularly affected by disorders because of the shared… Expand
Evaluation of allele frequencies of inherited disease genes in subgroups of American Quarter Horses.
TLDR
Accurate estimates of disease-causing alleles in AQHs and APHs may guide use of diagnostic genetic testing, aid management of genetic diseases, and help minimize production of affected foals. Expand
Mutations in MITF and PAX3 Cause “Splashed White” and Other White Spotting Phenotypes in Horses
TLDR
Several independent mutations in MITF and PAX3 together with known variants in the EDNRB and KIT genes explain a large proportion of horses with the more extreme white spotting phenotypes. Expand

Null mutation of endothelin receptor type B gene in spotting lethal rats causes aganglionic megacolon and white coat color.
TLDR
It is concluded that EDNRB plays an essential role in the normal development of two neural crest-derived cell lineages, epidermal melanocytes and enteric neurons, in three mammalian species--humans, mice, and rats. Expand
Novel mutations of the endothelin-B receptor gene in isolated patients with Hirschsprung's disease.
TLDR
Observations indicate that dysfunction or loss of function of endothelin-B receptor may be involved in the aetiology of some isolated patients with HSCR. Expand
A missense mutation of the endothelin-B receptor gene in multigenic hirschsprung's disease
TLDR
This work has identified in HSCR patients a G-->T missense mutation in EDNRB exon 4 that substitutes the highly conserved Trp-276 residue in the fifth transmembrane helix of the G protein-coupled receptor with a Cys residue (W276C). Expand
Interstitial deletion of the endothelin-B receptor gene in the spotting lethal (sl) rat.
TLDR
The discovery of the molecular defect underlying the sl rat phenotype should contribute to the understanding of the genetic heterogeneity of HSCR in man. Expand
Targeted and natural (piebald-lethal) mutations of endothelin-B receptor gene produce megacolon associated with spotted coat color in mice
TLDR
Findings indicate an essential role for EDNRB in the development of two neural crest-derived cell lineages, myenteric ganglion neurons and epidermal melanocytes, and postulate that defects in the human ED NRB gene cause a hereditary form of Hirschsprung's disease that has recently been mapped to human chromosome 13. Expand
A homozygous mutation in the endothelin-3 gene associated with a combined Waardenburg type 2 and Hirschsprung phenotype (Shah-Waardenburg syndrome)
TLDR
A mutation of the human gene for endothelin 3 (EDN3), homozygously present in a patient with a combined Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and HSCR phenotype, is described and a novel mutation detected in one of 40 unselected H SCR patients is reported. Expand
Endothelin-B receptor mutations in patients with isolated Hirschsprung disease from a non-inbred population.
TLDR
DNA samples from 17 probands of Italian origin with HSCR are analysed and two novel EDNRB mutations are identified, confirming the involvement ofEDNRB in HSCRs pathogenesis and demonstrating that EDNRBs mutations could contribute to HSCr disease in non-inbred populations. Expand
Interaction of endothelin-3 with endothelin-B receptor is essential for development of epidermal melanocytes and enteric neurons
TLDR
It is reported that a targeted disruption of the mouse endothelin-3 ligand (EDN3) gene produces a similar recessive phenotype of megacolon and coat color spotting, and postulate that defects in the human EDN3 gene may cause Hirschsprung's disease. Expand
Heterozygous endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) mutations in isolated Hirschsprung disease.
TLDR
Heterozygous EDNRB missense mutations are reported in isolated HSCR, giving further support to the role of the endothelin-signalling pathway in the development of neural crest-derived enteric neurons and suggesting that EDNRBs could be dosage sensitive. Expand
Mutation of the endothelin-3 gene in the Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease (Shah-Waardenburg syndrome)
TLDR
A homozygous substitution/deletion mutation of the EDA/3 gene is reported in a WS-HSCR patient, supporting the view that the endothelin-signaling pathways play a major role in the development of neural crests. Expand
