Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Species-specific description: 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
