In other species: dog , domestic cat , pig , taurine cattle

Categories: Liver/biliary system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 277900 (trait) , 606882 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: A disorder of copper metabolism, due to a deficiency of ceruloplasmin, which forms a complex with copper. The excess copper is deposited in the brain (causing mental retardation) or the liver (causing jaundice and cirrhosis).

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