OMIA 000485-9544 : Huntington disease in Macaca mulatta

In other species: pig , sheep

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 143100 (trait) , 613004 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Yang et al. (2008) developed "a transgenic model of HD in a rhesus macaque that expresses polyglutamine-expanded HTT". Resultant animals are genetically-modified organisms (GMO).

Khampang et al. (2021) "report a novel stem cell model that replicates genome instability and CAG repeat expansion in in vitro derived HD monkey spermatogenic cells."
