Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Inheritance: Kempe and Strandén (2015) estimated heritability of susceptibility to eye infection as a binary trait to be 0.24 ± 0.07, indicating that selection for resistance should be effective.

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