Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) — Difference of sexual development, DMRT1-related (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: Difference of sexual development, DMRT1-related
  • Summary: Dujardin et al. (2023) "abolished DMRT1 expression by CRISPR/Cas9 in ... the rabbit. First, we observed that gonads from XY DMRT1−/− rabbit fetuses differentiated like ovaries, highlighting that DMRT1 is involved in testis determination. ... Second, we highlighted another function of DMRT1 in the germline since XX and XY DMRT1−/− ovaries did not undergo meiosis and folliculogenesis. XX DMRT1−/− adult females were sterile, showing that DMRT1 is also crucial for female fertility." This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).
