OMIA:002660-9031 : Resistance/susceptibility to avian influenza virus in Gallus gallus (chicken)

In other species: Mallard , pig

Categories: Immune system phene

Single-gene trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Byun et al. (2017) "used recombinant lentiviruses to generate transgenic [TG] chickens expressing the 3D8 scFv gene under the control of the chicken β-actin promoter. ... [Their] results suggest that the transgenic chickens developed in this study could be useful for controlling potential within-flock AIV transmission." Yang et al. (2023) compared various parameters in non-TG and TG offspring female chickens: "Some serum parameters and cytokines were significantly different ... . Despite these differences, the mortality rates, body weight, egg production rates, and egg weight were not significantly different in the experimental groups of non-TG and TG offspring female chickens ... ." Idoko-Akoh et al. (2023) "In chickens, influenza A virus (IAV) relies on host protein ANP32A. Here we use CRISPR/Cas9 to generate homozygous gene edited (GE) chickens containing two ANP32A amino acid substitutions ... . After IAV challenge, 9/10 edited chickens remain uninfected. Challenge with a higher dose, however, led to breakthrough infections. ... Additional genome editing for removal of ANP32B and ANP32E eliminated all viral growth in chicken cells. Our data illustrate a first proof of concept step to generate IAV-resistant chickens and show that multiple genetic modifications will be required to curtail viral escape." This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - in addition to the occurrence of natural variants, 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
