OMIA:000114-56790 : Blindness in Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax (red-billed chough)

In other species: chicken , gray wolf

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive lethal

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: The common name for this species is "red-billed chough"

History: Trask et al. (2016) "demonstrate the phenotypic expression of a lethal recessive allele in a wild population of conservation concern, and provide a general framework for inferring allele distribution and persistence and informing management responses"

Inheritance: Trask et al. (2016) provided evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance of this lethal condition.

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