OMIA:001579-9940 : Ear size in Ovis aries (sheep)

In other species: pig , taurine cattle , woolly mammoth

Categories: Hearing / vestibular / ear phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 600409 (gene) , 605186 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: no

Mapping: Cheng et al. (2023) analysed “whole-genome sequencing individuals of 1,098 domestic sheep from 154 breeds, and 69 wild sheep from seven Ovis species. … several introgressed haplotypes contributed to the morphological differentiations across sheep breeds, … a MSRB3 haplotype from argali strongly associated with ear morphology … .”
