Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 164160 (gene) , 614962 (trait) , 601007 (gene) , 614963 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: unknown

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Silaeva et al. (2024): "a LEPR knockout rabbit was generated by introducing a deletion of the region around LEPR exon 10 using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The body weight of the knockout rabbit was significantly higher than the average body weight of the wild type rabbits." This study involves genetically modified/edited 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
