OMIA:000468-9823 : Heterochromia irides/iridis in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: dog , taurine cattle , sheep , golden hamster

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 142500 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Difference in colour of the iris in the two eyes, or in different areas of one iris.

Species-specific name: Glass eye

Species-specific description: In pigs, part (partial heterochromia) or all (complete heterochromia) of the iris lacks pigment.

Inheritance: Reconciling data from Durr (1937) and Gelati et al. (1973), Ollivier and Sellier (1981) concluded that bilateral complete heterochromiairidis is autosomal recessive, and that heterozygotes show unilateral and partial heterochromia.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
