OMIA:001404-9823 : Leptin concentration in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: taurine cattle

Categories: Homeostasis / metabolism phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: no

Molecular basis: Tan et al. (2023) used ZFN vectors to generate leptin-deficient (Leptin-/-) pigs as a model for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans. This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
