OMIA:002632-37347 : Asthenoteratozoospermia, SSX1-related in Tupaia belangeri (northern tree shrew)

In other species: crab-eating macaque

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 312820 (gene) , 301099 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

Species-specific description: Liu et al. (2023) "used a non-human primate model and tree shrews ... to knock down (KD) Ssx1 expression in the testes. Consistent with the phenotype observed in humans, both Ssx1-KD models exhibited a reduced sperm motility and abnormal sperm morphology." 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
