OMIA 000439-9925 : Hair, long in Capra hircus

In other species: domestic cat , golden hamster , dog , rabbit , cattle , ass , domestic guinea pig , llama , Arabian camel , sheep , alpaca , domestic yak

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 190330 (trait) , 165190 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: no

Cross-species summary: Long hair = angora

Species-specific description: This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Markers: Li et al. (2022) reported a naturally-occurring 507bp deletion roughly 14kb downstream of FGF5 that may be associated with fleece length in goats.

Molecular basis: Wang et al. (2016) reported that "the disruption of FGF5 [by CRISPR/Cas9] results in increased number of second hair follicles and enhanced fiber length in Cas9-mediated goats, suggesting more cashmere will be produced"
