Species-specific description: He et al. (2022) "Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) is the most common genetic cause and risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but the field lacks a large animal model that allows for longitudinal assessment of pulmonary function. ... AAT-knockout (AAT-KO) and PiZZ (E342K, the most common mutation in humans) ferrets were generated [He et al., 2018] and compared to matched controls ... In summary, AAT-KO and PiZZ ferrets model the progressive obstructive pulmonary disease seen in AAT-deficient patients and may serve as a platform for preclinical testing of therapeutics including gene therapy." This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - 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
