Molecular basis: Zhou et al. (2026) "generated a germline-transmissible DISC1 mutant model in cynomolgus macaques using CRISPR-Cas9 targeting of exon 9.  ... CRISPR-Cas9 editing induced mosaicism with diverse insertion-deletion (indel) mutations ... ." 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
