In other species: domestic cat , cattle , dog , horse , sheep , domestic ferret , chicken , domestic guinea pig , lion , rabbit , crab-eating macaque , degu , bald eagle , giant panda , ass

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Opacity of the lens of the eye.

Inheritance: Magwebu et al. (2018) reported that "The parents of the affected individuals were however observed to be asymptomatic, which confirmed that

this phenotype was transmitted in a recessive mode" but did not provide sufficient evidence to support the claimed inheritance.

Markers: Ngqaneka et al. (2020) identified several variants in functional candidate genes that "were found to be potentially disease-causing".
