OMIA:002410-9913 : CMAH enzyme deficiency in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

In other species: pig

Categories: Immune system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 603209 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc), a sialic acid involved in cell-cell recognition and cell-pathogen interactions, is abundantly expressed in most mammals but is not detectable in humans. The synthesis of NeuGc is controlled by cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) activity. The enzyme CMAH is inactivated in humans by a deletion.

Species-specific description: This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - in addition to the occurrence of natural variants, 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
