Species-specific description: Chisada et al. (2023) "adopted a medaka rad50 mutant to demonstrate the significance of RAD50 mutation in pathogenesis using the medaka as an experimental animal. A 2-base pair deletion in the rad50 gene was introduced into transparent STIII medaka using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. ... Our results revealed that the medaka rad50 mutation concurrently reproduced tumorigenesis (8 out of 10 rad50Δ2/+ medaka), had a decrease in median survival time (65.7 ± 1.1 weeks in control vs. 54.2 ± 2.6 weeks in rad50Δ2/+ medaka, p = 0.001, Welch's t-test), exhibited semi-lethality in rad50Δ2/Δ2 medaka and most of the major ataxia-telangiectasia phenotypes, including ataxia (rheotaxis ability was lower in rad50Δ2/+ medaka than in the control, Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.05), and telangiectasia (6 out of 10 rad50Δ2/+ medaka)." 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
