OMIA:000439-9925 : Hair, long in Capra hircus (goat)

In other species: dog , domestic cat , ass (donkey) , Arabian camel , llama , taurine cattle , sheep , rabbit , golden hamster , domestic guinea pig , domestic yak , alpaca

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 190330 (trait) , 165190 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2016

Cross-species summary: Long hair = angora

Species-specific description: This phene includes references to studies involving genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Markers: Li et al. (2022) reported a naturally-occurring 507bp deletion roughly 14kb downstream of FGF5 that may be associated with fleece length in goats.

Molecular basis: Wang et al. (2016) reported that "the disruption of FGF5 [by CRISPR/Cas9] results in increased number of second hair follicles and enhanced fiber length in Cas9-mediated goats, suggesting more cashmere will be produced"

Genetic engineering: Yes - in addition to the occurrence of natural variants, variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
