OMIA:001273-9940 : Resistance/susceptibility to Fasciola gigantica in Ovis aries (sheep)

Categories: Liver/biliary system phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific description: Roberts et al. (1997b) reported the results of assessing resistance to a type of liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica, in the segregating generations of a cross between the highly resistant Indonesian Thin Tail (ITT) and the susceptible St Croix breeds of sheep. The data were suggestive of a gene of large effect on resistance.

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

Breed: Priangan, Indonesia (Sheep) (VBO_0016011).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
