OMIA:001138-10141 : Hypocatalasia in Cavia porcellus (domestic guinea pig)

In other species: dog

Categories: Homeostasis / metabolism phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 614097 (trait) , 115500 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Catalase catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Reduced levels of catalase can lead to hypocatalasemia / hypocatalasaemia or hypocatalasia and absence of catalase activity results in acatalasaemia / acatalasemia.

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