OMIA:002593-9685 : Cat allergen in Felis catus (domestic cat)

Categories: Normal phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2024

Species-specific description: Brackett et al. (2022) "present a bioinformatics analysis of the major cat allergen, Fel d 1, and demonstrate proof of principle for CRISPR gene editing of the allergen." This study involves in vitro CRISPR gene editing (GMO).
Lee et al. (2024) "generated Fel d 1 chain 2 (CH2) genome-edited cats using the CRISPR-Cas9 system ... . ...  ELISA showed that the level of Fel d 1 in the CH2 homozygous genome-edited cat ...  was extremely low compared with that in wild type domestic cats ... . 

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

Clinical features: The cat allergen causes disease in some humans.
