OMIA:002311-9823 : Sterile, male, NANOS2-related in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: taurine cattle , goat

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 608228 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Park et al. (2017) "utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit the NANOS2 gene in pig embryos ... NANOS2 knockout male pigs are expected to serve as an ideal surrogate for transplantation of donor spermatogonial stem cells to expand the availability of gametes from genetically desirable sires." This is a genetically-modified organism (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
