OMIA:002229-9767 : Hypotrichosis, HR-related in Balaenoptera acutorostrata |
In other species: domestic cat , sheep , bottlenosed dolphin , long-beaked common dolphin , beluga whale , Indo-Pacific finless porpoise , Yangtze River dolphin , Omura's baleen whale , pig
Categories: Integument (skin) phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 203655 (trait) , 602302 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2013
Cross-species summary: Also known as Hairless
Molecular basis: Chen et al. (2013) reported evidence that the HR gene in cetaceans, including Balaenoptera acutorostrata, has degenerated into a non-functional pseudogene, which is consistent with the hairlessness of this species.
