OMIA:000683-9031 : Muscular hypertrophy (double muscling) in Gallus gallus (chicken)

In other species: rock pigeon , dog , pig , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , rabbit , water buffalo , Japanese quail , yellow catfish

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: unknown

Considered a defect: 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: This is a genetically-modified organism; 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
