OMIA:001181-9796 : Atrial fibrillation in Equus caballus (horse)

In other species: dog

Categories: Cardiovascular system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 194200 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Inheritance: Physick-Sheard et al. (2014) concluded that atrial fibrillation (AF) in Standardbreds is multifactorial and reported that "Heritability of AF on the underlying scale (h²(u)) was estimated at 29.6 ± 3.9% and on the observed binomial scale (h²(o)), at 9.6%."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Breed: American Trotter (Horse) (VBO_0000899).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
