Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) — Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol seizure (hereditary; OMIA-verified species predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) species-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

  • Species: Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
  • Disorder: Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol seizure
  • Summary: Fish et al. (1981): "Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive ingredient of marijuana, causes nonfatal convulsions in rabbits of a closed colony of New Zealand White rabbits (Uaz: NZW). The convulsive phenotype appears to be associated with homozygous expression of a single autosomal recessive gene with full penetrance."
