OMIA:000683-9986 : Muscular hypertrophy (double muscling) in Oryctolagus cuniculus

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

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: unknown

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: The affected rabbits described by Liu et al. (2018) are generated by genome editing and are considered genetically-modified organisms (GMO).
