OMIA:003089-9483 : Neurodevelopmental disorder, SETD1A-related in Callithrix jacchus (white-tufted-ear marmoset)

Categories: Nervous system phene , Behaviour / neurological phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 611052 (gene) , 618832 (trait) , 619056 (trait)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2026

Species summary: Wei et al. (2026) "established a genetically engineered common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) lineage carrying a frameshift mutation in SETD1A ... and confirmed germline transmission of the mutant allele. In a comparison between fibroblasts derived from one SETD1A mutant and one wild-type marmoset, the mutant showed a lower SETD1A protein level, modest differences in H3K4me3 deposition, and broader differences in gene expression profiles." 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

Variants

By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.

WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.

Since October 2021, OMIA includes a semiautomated lift-over pipeline to facilitate updates of genomic positions to a recent reference genome position. These changes to genomic positions are not always reflected in the ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘verbal description’ fields in this table.
