OMIA:000602-9031 : Limbless in Gallus gallus (chicken)

Categories: Limbs / fins / digit / tail phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific symbol: ll

Mapping: Robb et al. (2011) mapped this trait to chromosome GGA 2p (29,453,912-32,073,316)

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

Clinical features: "Homozygotes (-/-) do not form limb buds or limbs and usually have a shortened upper beak" (Robb et al., 2011)
