Categories: Nervous system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 207950 (trait) , 118420 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific description: Viere et al. (2021): “Chiari-like malformation have been reported in lions, in association with hypovitaminosis A. A genetic component is suspected in the development of this disease, causing a reduced ability to absorb vitamin A.” (Edited by Natalia Denisse Ramos Reyes 7/11/2022)

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