Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 606574 (trait) , 606202 (gene)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: unknown

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2023

Species-specific description: Raudstein et al. (2023) microinjected salmon embryos with LbCas12a ribonucleoprotein complexes targeting the pigmentation gene solute carrier family 45 member 2 (slc45a2). Using CRISPR/LbCas12a, [the authors] were able to knock-out slc45a2 and knock-in a FLAG sequence element by providing single-stranded DNA templates." This study involves 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
