Informazioni generali

Coat colour in dogs is controlled by a wide range of different genes working together. These genes are often referred to as ‘loci’. The I-Locus, a.k.a intensity dilution/intensity/ dilution, corresponds to the gene MFSD12, which is involved in pigment production and distribution. A dominant mutation to this gene, designated as I, further dilutes the phaeomelanin (light pigment) of affected dogs, which can lighten a yellow or red coat to cream or white. The unaffected recessive allele, designated as i, results in normal coloration.

Caratteristiche cliniche

Affected dogs (I/I or I/i) develop lightened coats (usually described as pale cream or white), as long as they are also affected by the recessive variant of the E-Locus (e/e). Affected dogs are not albino, and should retain a dark coloration of the lips, paw pads, eye rims, etc.

Informazioni aggiuntive

Coat colour is an intricate trait that involves a combination of multiple different genes. Testing for a range of different loci will give the most complete prediction of a dog's coat colour genetics.
