In other species: rock pigeon , dog , domestic cat , golden hamster , Japanese quail
Categories: Cardiovascular system phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 108725 (trait)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown
Considered a defect: yes
Cross-species summary: A common form of arteriosclerosis in which deposits of yellowing plaques (atheromas) containing cholesterol and other lipid material are formed within the arteries.
Species-specific description: A strain of pig that spontaneously develops atherosclerosis has been developed by selection (Skold and Getty, 1961; Gal et al., 1990), and is used as an animal model for medical studies of the same disease in humans.
Inheritance: familial
