OMIA:002855-9986 : Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency in Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit)

Categories: Renal / urinary system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 300322 (trait) , 308000 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Year key variant first reported: 2024

Cross-species summary: Variants in the HPRT gene result in a defective purine metabolism; in humans called Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Species-specific description: This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Molecular basis: Yin et al. (2024) created a rabbit model for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome using CRISPR/Cas9 HPRT knock out. 

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
