OMIA:000625-9940 : Mannosidosis, alpha in Ovis aries (sheep)

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

Categories: Lysosomal storage disease

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 248500 (trait) , 609458 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of mannose-rich compounds, due to the lack of the enzyme alpha-mannosidase, whose task is to cleave mannose from such compounds. Clinical signs include ataxia, head tremor, aggression, and finally paralysis and death.

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