OMIA:002665-9823 : Genetically engineered humanized animal in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: crab-eating macaque , Rhesus monkey , taurine cattle , goat

Categories: Immune system phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: no

Species-specific description: Flisikowskawe et al. (2022) "report the generation of Göttingen minipigs carrying a mini-repertoire of human genes for the immunoglobulin heavy chains γ1 and γ4 and the immunoglobulin light chain κ." Lei et al. (2023) "study engraftment and survival of porcine islet cells expressing human programmed death-ligand 1 (hPD-L1) in a humanized mouse model." Anand et al. (2023) "describe the design, creation and long-term life-supporting function of kidney grafts from a genetically engineered porcine donor transplanted into a cynomolgus monkey model. The porcine donor was engineered to carry 69 genomic edits, eliminating glycan antigens, overexpressing human transgenes and inactivating porcine endogenous retroviruses." These studies involve genetically modified organisms (GMO) for the use of xenotransplantation.

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
