OMIA:002030-9534 : Cataract and non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia in Chlorocebus aethiops (grivet)

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 605899 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: In humans, non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia is also known as glycine encephalopathy

History: Chauke et al. (2016) confirmed "the diagnosis of NKH for the first time in vervet monkeys with cataracts"

Inheritance: Given that this disorder is an inborn error of metabolism, it is most likely to be autosomal recessive.

Molecular basis: Chauke et al. (2016): "Although deleterious effects of the three amino acid substitutions were not evaluated, one substitution of GLDC gene (S44R) could be disease-causing because of its drastic amino acid change, affecting amino acids conserved in different primate species."

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