OMIA 002496-9823 : Intramuscular fat, PPARG-related in Sus scrofa

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 601487 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Gu et al. (2021) "generated muscle-specific overexpression of PPARγ [PPARG] in two pig models by random insertion and CRISPR/Cas9 transgenic cloning procedures. The content of intramuscular fat was significantly increased in PPARγ pigs while [the genome editing] had no changes on lean meat ratio."

This phene includes references to studies involving genome edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
