OMIA:002772-9541 : Frontotemporal dementia, MAPT-related in Macaca fascicularis (crab-eating macaque)

Categories: Nervous system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 157140 (gene) , 600274 (trait)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2023

Species summary: Tu et al. (2023) "established non-human primate models that express mutant human Tau P301L (0N4R P301L) via embryonic lentiviral transduction and stereotaxic brain injection of AAV. [The authors] found that mutant Tau elicited neurodegeneration accompanied by typical features of tauopathy and motor function deficits." This study involves genetically engineered or 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
