OMIA:000243-9823 : Cryptorchidism in Sus scrofa (pig)

In other species: dog , domestic cat , puma , horse , Arabian camel , llama , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , domestic yak , alpaca

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 219050 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Failure of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) testes to descend.

Inheritance: Both unilateral and bilateral cryptorchidism are familial in pigs, but there is no convincing evidence for single-locus inheritance.

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