OMIA:001323-9823 : Dwarfism, GHR-related in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: taurine cattle , Southern African pygmy mouse

Categories: Skeleton phene (incl. short stature & teeth)

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 262500 (trait) , 604271 (trait) , 600946 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: similar to Laron Syndrome in humans renamed from 'Dwarfism, Laron' [28/04/2023]

Species-specific description: Genetically-modifed organism; GMO

Molecular basis: Cui et al. (2015) reported the first creation of a GMO miniature pig model of Laron disease by knocking out the GHR gene via zinc finger nucleas (ZFN technology.

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
