ZFIN Get Gene Phenotypes

Get phenotype annotations for a zebrafish gene from ZFIN via the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns phenotypes observed when the gene is mutated or knocked out in zebrafish, including affected anatomical structures and phenotype statements. Zebrafish is widely used for forward genetic screens and disease modeling. Example: 'ZFIN:ZDB-GENE-990415-8' (pax2a) returns phenotypes related to eye, kidney, and nervous system development.
