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

In other species: Japanese flounder , Mallard , rock pigeon , chicken , dog , pig , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , water buffalo , 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: 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).

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
