Abstract
The RYR1 gene, which encodes the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel or type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) of skeletal muscle, was sequenced in 1988 and RYR1 variations that impair calcium homeostasis and increase susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia were first identified in 1991. Since then, RYR1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM) have been described as rare, histopathologically and clinically heterogeneous, and slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders. RYR1 variants can lead to dysfunctional RyR1-mediated calcium release, malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, elevated oxidative stress, deleterious post-translational modifications, and decreased RyR1 expression. RYR1-RM-affected individuals can present with delayed motor milestones, contractures, scoliosis, ophthalmoplegia, and respiratory insufficiency. Historically, RYR1-RM-affected individuals were diagnosed based on morphologic features observed in muscle biopsies including central cores, cores and rods, central nuclei, fiber type disproportion, and multi-minicores. However, these histopathologic features are not always specific to RYR1-RM and often change over time. As additional phenotypes were associated with RYR1 variations (including King-Denborough syndrome, exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis, lethal multiple pterygium syndrome, adult-onset distal myopathy, atypical periodic paralysis with or without myalgia, mild calf-predominant myopathy, and dusty core disease) the overlap among diagnostic categories is ever increasing. With the continuing emergence of new clinical subtypes along the RYR1 disease spectrum and reports of adult-onset phenotypes, nuanced nomenclatures have been reported (RYR1- [related, related congenital, congenital] myopathies). In this narrative review, we provide historical highlights of RYR1 research, accounts of the main diagnostic disease subtypes and propose RYR1-related disorders (RYR1-RD) as a unified nomenclature to describe this complex and evolving disease spectrum.

Abstract
Within two years of the re-discovery of Mendelism, Bateson and Saunders had described six traits in non-laboratory animals (five in chickens and one in cattle) that show single-locus (Mendelian) inheritance. In the ensuing decades, much progress was made in documenting an ever-increasing number of such traits. In 1987 came the first discovery of a causal mutation for a Mendelian trait in non-laboratory animals: a non-sense mutation in the thyroglobulin gene (TG), causing familial goitre in cattle. In the years that followed, the rate of discovery of causal mutations increased, aided mightily by the creation of genome-wide microsatellite maps in the 1990s and even more mightily by genome assemblies and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips in the 2000s. With sequencing costs decreasing rapidly, by 2012 causal mutations were being discovered in non-laboratory animals at a rate of more than one per week. By the end of 2012, the total number of Mendelian traits in non-laboratory animals with known causal mutations had reached 499, which was half the number of published single-locus (Mendelian) traits in those species. The distribution of types of mutations documented in non-laboratory animals is fairly similar to that in humans, with almost half being missense or non-sense mutations. The ratio of missense to non-sense mutations in non-laboratory animals to the end of 2012 was 193:78. The fraction of non-sense mutations (78/271 = 0.29) was not very different from the fraction of non-stop codons that are just one base substitution away from a stop codon (21/61 = 0.34).

Abstract
BACKGROUND About half of malignant hyperthermia (MH) cases are associated with skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) and calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L type, α1S subunit (CACNA1S) gene mutations, leaving many with an unknown cause. The authors chose to apply a sequencing approach to uncover causal variants in unknown cases. Sequencing the exome, the protein-coding region of the genome, has power at low sample sizes and identified the cause of over a dozen Mendelian disorders. METHODS The authors considered four families with multiple MH cases lacking mutations in RYR1 and CACNA1S by Sanger sequencing of complementary DNA. Exome sequencing in two affecteds per family, chosen for maximum genetic distance, were compared. Variants were ranked by allele frequency, protein change, and measures of conservation among mammals to assess likelihood of causation. Finally, putative pathogenic mutations were genotyped in other family members to verify cosegregation with MH. RESULTS Exome sequencing revealed one rare RYR1 nonsynonymous variant in each of three families (Asp1056His, Val2627Met, Val4234Leu), and one CACNA1S variant (Thr1009Lys) in the fourth family. These were not seen in variant databases or in our control population sample of 5,379 exomes. Follow-up sequencing in other family members verified cosegregation of alleles with MH. CONCLUSIONS The authors found that using both exome sequencing and allele frequency data from large sequencing efforts may aid genetic diagnosis of MH. In a sample selected by the authors, this technique was more sensitive for variant detection in known genes than Sanger sequencing of complementary DNA, and allows for the possibility of novel gene discovery.

Abstract
A variable number of tandem repeat from a porcine glucosephosphate isomerase intron has been isolated and sequenced. The repeat has a unit size of 39 bp, is highly conserved and is present in at least 14 copies. Flanking sequences show a sequence periodicity of 53-54 bp and some sequence homology to the 39 bp repeat. A considerable part of the genomic DNA has been lost during subcloning and is considered to be deletion prone or refractory to propagation in E. coli. The tandem repeat is locus specific and detects at least six alleles in BamHI digested porcine DNA. No homology to other tandem repeat sequences has been found.

Abstract
Cytogenetics was conceived in the late 1800s and nurtured through the early 1900s by discoveries pointing to the chromosomal basis of inheritance. The relevance of chromosomes to human health and disease was realized more than half a century later when improvements in techniques facilitated unequivocal chromosome delineation. Veterinary cytogenetics has benefited from the information generated in human cytogenetics which, in turn, owes its theoretical and technical advancement to data gathered from plants, insects and laboratory mammals. The scope of this science has moved from the structure and number of chromosomes to molecular cytogenetics for use in research or for diagnostic and prognostic purposes including comparative genomic hybridization arrays, single nucleotide polymorphism array-based karyotyping and automated systems for counting the results of standard FISH preparations. Even though the counterparts to a variety of human diseases and disorders are seen in domestic animals, clinical applications of veterinary cytogenetics will be less well exploited mainly because of the cost-driven nature of demand on diagnosis and treatment which often out-weigh emotional and sentimental attachments. An area where the potential of veterinary cytogenetics will be fully exploited is reproduction since an inherited aberration that impacts on reproductive efficiency can compromise the success achieved over the years in animal breeding. It is gratifying to note that such aberrations can now be tracked and tackled using sophisticated cytogenetic tools already commercially available for RNA expression analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation, or comparative genomic hybridization using custom-made microarray platforms that allow the construction of microarrays that match veterinary cytogenetic needs, be it for research or for clinical applications. Judging from the technical refinements already accomplished in veterinary cytogenetics since the 1960s, it is clear that the importance of the achievements to date are bound to be matched or out-weighed by what awaits to be accomplished in the not-too-far future.

Abstract
A porcine genomic glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) DNA probe was used for in situ hybridization with metaphase chromosomes in cattle, sheep and goat. The probe gave distinct signals on the q22----proximal part of the q24 segment of chromosome 18, 14 and 18 in cattle, sheep and goat, respectively, indicating the location of GPI gene. The three species belong to the family Bovidae and have high resemblance in chromosome banding patterns. The localization of the GPI locus to the same site on chromosomes with almost similar banding patterns suggests high degree of homology at these sites in the three species. Correlation between banding homologies and possible similarities at the molecular level is discussed.

Abstract
The 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) and glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) genes are both located on chromosome 6 in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica). Nonetheless, the PGD gene was absent in a total of 17 GPI-positive cell lines found in three independently derived panels of pig x rodent somatic cell hybrids. In most of these cell lines we found an apparently normal pig chromosome 6 at cytogenetic analysis. These results suggest instability of the porcine PGD gene region in interspecies hybrid cells.

Abstract
The glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) locus is closely linked to the halothane sensitivity locus in pig. The chromosomal localization of GPI in pig was confirmed to 6p12----q21 by using in situ hybridization. Of the total grains, 25 percent were located on chromosome 6, with about 65 percent clustered in the cent----q21 segment, suggesting the presence of the GPI gene on the very proximal part of the q arm. The efficiency of hybridization was found to be affected by ultraviolet irradiation of metaphases for RBA-banding before hybridization. The irradiated metaphases had higher background grains than the non-irradiated metaphases.

Abstract
This work reports the development of DNA biosensors for the identification of mammalian species in real samples based on specific oligonucleotide probes. The oligonucleotide sequences (the probes) of each species studied were selected starting from the sequence of satellites DNA. Two inosine-modified (guanine-free) DNA sequences of 21 and 25 bases have been immobilised on screen printed electrodes (SPEs) as capturing agent and the detection of the duplex formation, via guanine oxidation of the target, was examined and optimised. The duplex formation was detected using the square-wave voltammetry. The developed sensors were applied on bovine and porcine DNA extract samples without polymerase chain reaction (PCR), after a restriction enzyme digestion to avoid steric hindrance. Using standard solutions the hybridisation event was identified when 3 microg/mL of complementary oligonucleotide were presented in solution with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 15%. Using total genomic DNA extracts a clear discrimination of the species with a detection limit of less than 30 microg/ml of total genomic bovine DNA was obtained (CV < 20%). The sensors were able to discriminate among the species indicating that the approach is suitable for the identification of mammalian species.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially life-threatening event in response to anesthetic triggering agents, with symptoms of sustained uncontrolled skeletal muscle calcium homeostasis resulting in organ and systemic failure. Susceptibility to MH, an autosomal dominant trait, may be associated with congenital myopathies, but in the majority of the cases, no clinical signs of disease are visible outside of anesthesia. For diagnosis, a functional test on skeletal muscle biopsy, the in vitro contracture test (IVCT), is performed. Over 50% of the families show linkage of the IVCT phenotype to the gene encoding the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor and over 20 mutations therein have been described. At least five other loci have been defined implicating greater genetic heterogeneity than previously assumed, but so far only one further gene encoding the main subunit of the voltage-gated dihydropyridine receptor has a confirmed role in MH. As a result of extensive research on the mechanisms of excitation-contraction coupling and recent functional characterization of several disease-causing mutations in heterologous expression systems, much is known today about the molecular etiology of MH.

Abstract
In this review, the importance of molecular genetics for diagnostic applications in animal production and breeding is underlined. Recently, several new techniques and methods based on gene technology have been developed, such as the polymerase chain reaction, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and the use of microsatellite polymorphism. The examples include detection of favourable alleles of genes coding for milk proteins, recognition of negative recessive alleles in hereditary syndromes, the use of microsatellite variants for breeding purposes and parentage control, and application of specific DNA-probes for identification of Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa and the sex of embryos. It is to be understood that this list is not complete and more applications will undoubtedly show up in the future. For this review, the authors have mainly selected areas where they themselves or their co-workers have gained experience.

Abstract
Swine Chromosome (Chr) 6-enriched libraries, generated with size-fractionated DNA isolated from chromosomes sorted by flow cytometry, have been used to develop new Chr 6 microsatellite markers. Chromosome isolation procedures were established to reproducibly prepare high quality chromosomes from phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated swine peripheral blood lymphocytes and to sort individual chromosomes after staining with Hoechst 33258 and chromomycin A3. Chromosome purity was verified by specific staining of swine Chr 6 with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) by use of painting probes generated by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) amplification of as few as 300 sorted Chr 6. For library construction, DNA was extracted from flow-sorted pools representing Chr 6, amplified, size selected for fragments from 300 to 700 bp, and ligated into pBluescript SK II+ or Lambda ZAP Express. The libraries were then screened with a radiolabeled poly-(dCA) DNA probe. Of 107 (CA)n repeat-containing clones verified by sequencing, 21 were polymorphic and used to genotype the University of Illinois swine reference families. Linkage analysis was then performed with CRIMAP 2.4 (LOD > 3.0), and the results showed that 15 of the microsatellites mapped to swine Chr 6. At least three of these new markers map to locations where there were gaps in the consensus Chr 6 map. Another four markers, because of their PIC values, should provide more informative markers in other areas of the map. Most of the new markers can also be used for automated genotyping with fluorescent labeling. This set of 15 new Chr 6 markers will, therefore, be useful in helping to define QTL associated with swine Chr 6.

Abstract
Recent advances in the use of microsatellite markers and the development of comparative gene mapping techniques have made the construction of high resolution genetic maps of livestock species possible. Framework and comprehensive genetic linkage maps of porcine chromosome 6 have resulted from the first international effort to integrate genetic maps from multiple laboratories. Eleven highly polymorphic genetic markers were exchanged and mapped by four independent laboratories on a total of 583 animals derived from four reference populations. The chromosome 6 framework map consists of 10 markers ordered with high local support. The average marker interval of the framework map is 15.1 cM (sex averaged). The framework map is 135, 175 and 109 cM in length (for sex averaged, female and male maps, respectively). The comprehensive map includes a total of 48 type I and type II markers with a sex averaged interval of 3.5 cM and is 166, 196 and 126 cM (for sex averaged, female and male maps, respectively). Additional markers within framework map marker intervals can thus be selected from the comprehensive map for further analysis of quantitive trait loci (QTL) located on chromosome 6. The resulting maps of swine chromosome 6 provide a valuable tool for analysing and locating QTL.

Abstract
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) detected using cDNA probes for conserved genes provide an important set of markers that anchor or link syntenic groups in a range of divergent mammalian species. DNA probes from sheep, cattle, pig, human and mouse were screened against sheep DNA samples and 24 new RFLP markers for sheep were identified. Among the loci tested, 22 had a homologue that has been mapped in humans. An RFLP for fibronectin (FN1) was linked to alpha-inhibin (INHA) at a distance of 5cM. The FN1 locus has been assigned to sheep chromosome 2q41-q44 and linkage between FN1 and INHA assigns INHA to the same chromosome in sheep. In addition to the new loci reported here, 28 RFLPs have been published previously by this group and these are collated together with RFLPs published from other laboratories. RFLPs have been reported for 86 loci in sheep. Fifty-four loci have been mapped to 16 different chromosomes.

Abstract
Long range restriction maps of the calcium release channel (CRC) and glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) loci have been constructed using pulsed field electrophoresis, Southern blotting and CRC- and GPI-specific probes. The maps, deduced from the restriction fragments detected by the probes, covered 1.1 and 0.3 Mb respectively and no overlap between the maps of these closely linked loci was detected. The minimal distance between the GPI and CRC loci was estimated to be at least 500 kb.

Abstract
A linkage map of the porcine genome has been developed by segregation analysis of 239 genetic markers. Eighty-one of these markers correspond to known genes. Linkage groups have been assigned to all 18 autosomes plus the X Chromosome (Chr). As 69 of the markers on the linkage map have also been mapped physically (by others), there is significant integration of linkage and physical map data. Six informative markers failed to show linkage to these maps. As in other species, the genetic map of the heterogametic sex (male) was significantly shorter (approximately 16.5 Morgans) than the genetic map of the homogametic sex (female) (approximately 21.5 Morgans). The sex-averaged genetic map of the pig was estimated to be approximately 18 Morgans in length. Mapping information for 61 Type I loci (genes) enhances the contribution of the pig gene map to comparative gene mapping. Because the linkage map incorporates both highly polymorphic Type II loci, predominantly microsatellites, and Type I loci, it will be useful both for large experiments to map quantitative trait loci and for the subsequent isolation of trait genes following a comparative and candidate gene approach.

Abstract
Coincidence cloning is a technique that permits the isolation of sequences common to two independent sources of complex DNA, and this method has been used to isolate a set of probes from a region of porcine Chromosome (Chr) 6 containing the loci for glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) and the skeletal muscle calcium release channel (CRC). Porcine DNA was specifically PCR-amplified from a pig x hamster hybrid cell line containing the centromere region (p1.2-q1.2) of pig Chr 6 and other pig chromosome fragments by use of a porcine SINE specific primer with an EcoRI site in the 5'-end. Flow-sorted Chr 6 preparations were amplified with the same SINE primer, but with a SalI site in the 5'-end. The products were digested with EcoRI and SalI respectively, combined, denatured, and reannealed. The heteroduplex molecules, containing both an EcoRI and a SalI cohesive end, were selected by cloning in SalI/EcoRI-digested pUC13. Approximately 40% of the primary clones contained a single SalI/EcoRI-insert, indicating that they are coincidence clones. The average insert size was 1.4 kb. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of a pool of 34 coincidence clones to pig chromosomes showed a preferential labeling of the centromere region and of the q2.5-q2.7 region of pig Chr 6. Nineteen coincidence clones were hybridized to SINE-PCR products from flow-sorted pig Chr 6 and to pig x rodent hybrid cell lines. Eighteen clones gave positive signals correlated with the GPI/CRC content of the source DNAs.

Abstract
A total of 392 pigs of European Landrace and Pietrain origin segregating for malignant hyperthermia (MH) were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/restriction endonuclease test for the C-T mutation at nucleotide (nt) 1843 in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RYR1) gene, earlier identified as the causal mutation for MH. All pigs had been halothane tested and genotyped at linked polymorphic marker loci. There was complete correlation between MH status of the 392 animals, as diagnosed by a combination of the halothane challenge test with S, GPI, H, A1BG, PGD haplotyping, and the DNA-based test. DNA-based detection of the MH status in 238 MH-susceptible heterozygous (N/n) and homozygous (n/n) pigs was shown to be accurate, eliminating the 2% diagnostic error that is associated with the halothane challenge test. The mutation was also associated with an allele of a polymorphic microsatellite (ETH5 001) at the RYR1 locus.

Abstract
A porcine glucosephosphate isomerase-processed pseudogene has been isolated and sequenced. The pseudogene has several base substitutions as well as an insertion and deletions, and is 83% homologous to the corresponding cDNA. It contains an intervening sequence of 565 bp, is truncated at the 3' end, and is flanked by direct repeats of seven nucleotides. Fluorescent in situ hybridization to porcine metaphase chromosomes localized the processed pseudogene to Chromosome (Chr) 1q1.6-1.7. A (GT)14(AT)15 microsatellite was detected close to the processed pseudogene.

Abstract
The regulation of intracellular free calcium ions (Ca2+) in skeletal muscle at rest and during contraction depends on mechanisms such as Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers, Ca(2+)-ATPases, and the voltage-sensitive ryanodine receptor. The susceptibility of these regulatory mechanisms to free-radical-mediated damage may be increased because of their location within the lipid membranes of sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrion with resultant uncontrolled increases in myoplasmic Ca2+ concentration and cell death. The potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disorder, malignant hyperthermia (MH), is characterised by muscle rigidity, arrhythmias, lactic acidosis, and a rapid rise in body temperature. The sequence of events responsible for the MH syndrome remains uncertain, but it has been variously ascribed to faults in many of the Ca2+ regulatory mechanisms. In swine the condition is associated with a specific mutation in the ryanodine receptor, whereas in humans the syndrome is genetically heterogenous. Free-radical-mediated peroxidation of membrane lipids and proteins also results in the rapid efflux of Ca2+ from organelles, and the detection of products of free radical reactions in tissue from MH-susceptible individuals using electron spin resonance spectroscopy provides evidence for the involvement of free radicals in the MH syndrome.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility remains the commonest cause of death owing to general anaesthesia. This is despite the availability of presymptomatic testing, admittedly by a highly invasive method, and a recognised treatment for implementation immediately a patient shows signs of developing a crisis. Recently the finding of linkage to markers from chromosome 19q13.1-13.2 and the identification of mutations in a candidate gene held out hope of genetic diagnosis being available. However, it is likely that only about 50% of families have a mutation of the skeletal muscle calcium release channel gene. With this degree of genetic heterogeneity, presymptomatic testing based on DNA markers can only be offered at present to a limited number of families where linkage to markers from 19q13.1-13.2 has been clearly shown.

Abstract
Previous studies on human DNA have shown that the 3' poly(A) tracts of Alu elements may display considerable genetic polymorphism. To explore whether this marker type is generally applicable in mammalian genomes, I analyzed porcine SINEs. A database screening revealed 17 porcine sequences with significant homology to a previously identified pig SINE. The occurrence in the database suggested a SINE frequency of one copy every 12 kb of pig DNA. All SINEs contained a 3' poly(A) tract with an average of 12 uninterrupted adenines. The repetitive regions were analyzed for polymorphism by locus-specific PCR amplification. Allelic length variation (two to five alleles among 10 pigs) was found at 8 out of 10 loci investigated, in most cases probably because of varying number of iterated adenine residues. There was a positive relationship between repeat length and the degree of polymorphism. Stable Mendelian inheritance was documented in 200 meioses each at four loci. The high genomic frequency of SINEs implies that a potentially informative marker may be found near any gene or in any cosmid clone. These SINE 3' poly(A) polymorphisms, termed SINEVA [SINE variable poly(A)s], thus provide an abundant and useful class of genetic marker in mammalian genomes.

Abstract
Twenty-four PCR primer pairs were designed for the detection of porcine microsatellites. Polymorphism was investigated in 76 unrelated animals from four different breeds: Duroc, Landrace, Hampshire, and Yorkshire. Compared with human microsatellites, a general lower heterozygosity was detected; however, for each microsatellite a significant variation between breeds in number of alleles and heterozygosity was seen. Mean heterozygosity was found to be significantly higher (P < 0.01%) in the Yorkshire breed than in the other three breeds. Linkage analyses with the CEPH linkage packet were performed in a backcross family comprising 45 animals, of which 43 had informative meioses. Ten of the microsatellites could be assigned to six different linkage groups, demonstrating that linkage mapping with microsatellites can be carried out with great efficiency in a relatively small number of animals. Four of the linkage groups represent Chromosomes (Chrs) 4, 6, 7, and 8 respectively, while two linkage groups are unassigned.

Abstract
Anaesthesia can induce skeletal muscle rigidity, hypermetabolism and high fever in humans genetically predisposed to malignant hyperthermia. If not immediately reversed, such episodes can lead to tissue damage and death. In swine with the corresponding condition, stress can induce death or lead to devalued meat products. Since muscle contraction is controlled by sarcoplasmic Ca2+, the abnormality, as reviewed here by David H. MacLennan, could reside in the skeletal muscle Ca(2+)-release channel gene, RYR1. Several observations support the view that a single RYR1 mutation is causal of malignant hyperthermia in all breeds of pigs and in at least some human families: the substitution of Cys for Arg615 as the sole deduced amino acid sequence change in a comparison of malignant hyperthermia and normal porcine RYR1 cDNAs; the linkage of this mutation to malignant hyperthermia in over 450 pigs in six breeds, including 338 meioses; and the appearance of the corresponding mutation, Cys for Arg614, across a species barrier, in a few human families, where it also cosegregates with malignant hyperthermia. Linkage of malignant hyperthermia to RYR1 is, however, not observed in all human families with malignant hyperthermia. Accordingly, other abnormal genes that may cause the condition are being sought.
