OMIA:002965-9823 : Intramuscular fat, MYH3-related in Sus scrofa (pig)

Categories: Adipose tissue phene , Muscle phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 160720 (gene)

Single-gene trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Disease-related: no

Key variant known: no

Molecular basis: Cho et al. (2019) "discovered a structural variant in the promotor/regulatory region of MYH3 for which Q allele carriers exhibited significantly higher values of [reddish meat color] a* and IMF than q allele carriers. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation and cotransfection assays showed that the structural variant in the 5'-flanking region of MYH3 abrogated the binding of the myogenic regulatory factors (MYF5, MYOD, MYOG, and MRF4)."
