OMIA:000683-9925 : Muscular hypertrophy (double muscling) in Capra hircus

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

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: This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified organisms (GMO).
