Cross-species summary: Abnormal increase in muscular tissue caused entirely by enlargement of existing cells (in contrast to muscular hyperplasia, in which the abnormal increase in muscular tissue is due to the formation and growth of new, normal muscle cells)
Species-specific description: Zhang et al. (2020, 2023) investigated mstna and mstnb gene knockout in yellow catfish, as variants in the myostatin gene (MSTN) gene are known to cause muscular hypertrophy in several animal species. Knock out of mstna in yellow catfish increased muscle mass (Zhang et al. 2020) but knockout of mstnb "reduced the body size and growth performance ... . It was found that mstnb gene knockdown resulted in a reduction in the number of vertebrae, the length, and the intervertebral distance ... . Further, histological comparison of the same sites in the mstn mutant and wild groups ... revealed that the number and density of osteocytes were greater in mstnb knockout ... . [The] results demonstrated that when using genome editing technology to breed new lines, the effects of knockout need to be analyzed comprehensively and may have some unexpected effects due to insufficient study of the function of certain genes." 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
