OMIA:002613-9823 : Lactoferrin concentration, increased in Sus scrofa (pig)

Categories: Endocrine / exocrine gland phene (incl mammary gland)

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 150210 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: unknown

Species-specific description: Han et al. (2020): "constructed genome-edited Large-White pigs with marker-free site-specific knock-in of lactoferrin gene in the 3'-end of Casein alpha-s1 via CRISPR/Cas9 mediated homologous recombination. Thus, the lactoferrin protein can be expressed in the mammary gland in the control of Casein alpha-s1 promoter. As expected, the lactoferrin protein in genetically modified pigs sustained high expression in both colostrum and milk when compared with wild-type pigs." This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or 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
