OMIA:000080-9823 : Atherosclerosis in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: rock pigeon , dog , domestic cat , golden hamster , Japanese quail

Categories: Cardiovascular system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 108725 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: A common form of arteriosclerosis in which deposits of yellowing plaques (atheromas) containing cholesterol and other lipid material are formed within the arteries.

Species-specific description: A strain of pig that spontaneously develops atherosclerosis has been developed by selection (Skold and Getty, 1961; Gal et al., 1990), and is used as an animal model for medical studies of the same disease in humans.

Inheritance: familial

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