OMIA:002378-9544 : Parkinson disease, SNCA-related in Macaca mulatta (Rhesus monkey)

In other species: white-tufted-ear marmoset , crab-eating macaque , pig

Categories: Nervous system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 163890 (gene) , 127750 (trait) , 168601 (trait) , 605543 (trait)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Niu et al. (2015): "We established transgenic PD [Parkinson's disease] rhesus monkeys that express mutant α-syn (A53T). Six transgenic A53T monkeys were produced via lentiviral vector expressing A53T in fertilized monkey eggs and subsequent embryo transfer to surrogates. Transgenic A53T is expressed in the monkey brain and causes age-dependent non-motor symptoms, including cognitive defects and anxiety phenotype, without detectable sleeping disorders." This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified 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
