OMIA:002033-89462 : Casein, beta in Bubalus bubalis (water buffalo)

In other species: taurine cattle , indicine cattle (zebu) , goat

Categories: Endocrine / exocrine gland phene (incl mammary gland)

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 115460 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Phene was renamed from 'A2 milk' to Casein beta [18/2/2023]

Species-specific description: de Oliveira et al. (2021): "A total of 657 buffaloes of four different breeds were genotyped and all animals carried the A2A2 genotype, i.e., allele A1 does not exist in the buffalo species."

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