OMIA:002915-10036 : Apolipoprotein C-II deficiency in Mesocricetus auratus (golden hamster)

Categories: Homeostasis / metabolism phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 608083 (gene) , 207750 ()

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: unknown

Key variant known: no

Species-specific name: Hypertriglyceridemia

Species-specific description: Shen et al. (2024): Acute seizure models were established both in vivo and ex vivo using wild-type and Apolipoprotein C2 knockout (Apoc2−/−) hamsters. ... Hypertriglyceridemic Apoc2−/− hamsters exhibited reduced seizure frequency and decreased cortical neuron excitability." This study involves 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
