OMIA:002490-9986 : Hyperlipidaemia/atherosclerosis, APOC3-related in Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit) |
Categories: Cardiovascular system phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 107720 (gene) , 614028 (trait)
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: no
Species-specific description: Zha et al. (2021): "High levels of apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) can lead to hypertriglyceridemia, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. ... An APOC3-KO rabbit model was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. APOC3 deficiency alleviated cholesterol-induced hyperlipidemia and reduced atherosclerotic plaque formation." 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
