Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) — Marfan syndrome (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: Marfan syndrome
  • Summary: Chen et al. (2018) "describe the generation of a rabbit MPL [Marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy] model with C-terminal truncation of fibrillin-1 using a CRISPR/Cas9 system. FBN1 heterozygous (FBN1 Het) rabbits faithfully recapitulated the phenotypes of MFS [Marfan syndrome], including muscle wasting and impaired connective tissue, ocular syndrome and aortic dilation. Moreover, skin symptoms, lipodystrophy, growth retardation and dysglycemia were also seen in these FBN1 Het rabbits ... . " This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
