OMIA:001272-9615 : Comedo syndrome in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 120450 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: A comedo (plural comedones) is a plug of keratin and sebum within the dilated orifice of a hair follicle. It frequently contains bacteria.

Species-specific name: Schnauzer comedo syndrome

Species-specific description: Numerous comedones form in the dorsal skin. Schnauzers are particularly predisposed to this disorder.

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

Breeds: Schnauzer (Dog) (VBO_0201185), Xoloitzcuintli (Dog) (VBO_0201436).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
