OMIA:000683-89462 : Muscular hypertrophy (double muscling) in Bubalus bubalis

In other species: chicken , dog , pig , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , rabbit , Japanese quail

Categories: Muscle phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 601788 (gene) , 614160 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Abnormal increase in muscular tissue caused entirely by enlargement of existing cells (in contrast to muscular hyperplasia, in which the abnormal increase in muscular tissue is due to the formation and growth of new, normal muscle cells)

Species-specific description: Dua et al. (2023) produced "myostatin (MSTN) gene-edited embryos of the Murrah buffalo using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and SCNT. ... This work establishes the technical foundation for generation of genome-edited cloned embryos in the buffalo." This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).
