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

In other species: Japanese flounder , Mallard , rock pigeon , chicken , dog , pig , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , rabbit , Japanese quail , red seabream , yellow catfish

Categories: Muscle phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 601788 (gene) , 614160 (trait)

Links to relevant human diseases in MONDO:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: 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."  Punetha et al. (2024) used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to sucessfully create MSTN edited embryos. Transfer to recipients resulted in 3 pregnancies, which all terminated prematurely. These studies involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
