OMIA:001694-9685 : Resistance/susceptibility to lentivirus in Felis catus (domestic cat)

In other species: chimpanzee , sheep

Categories: Immune system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 186940 (gene) , 607750 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2016

Species-specific name: Resistance/susceptibility to feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)

Molecular basis: Yoshikawa et al. (2016) "demonstrated that feline A3Z3 hap V is maintained under conditions of positive selection and is resistant to FIV Vif-dependent degradation. . . . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report providing evidence of the evolutionary arms race between domestic cat and its lentivirus FIV". The likely causal variant for resistance is 65I.

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