In other species: chicken , cattle , Japanese quail

Categories: Homeostasis / metabolism phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 602079 (trait) , 136132 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Molecular basis: As a first step towards searching for causal mutations in the most obvious candidate gene for this disorder, Wang et al. (2013) conducted a cloning, sequencing and expression analysis of the duck FMO3 gene.
