Informazioni generali
The Silver gene (SILV gene), also called premelanosome protein (PMEL17 gene) is responsible for Merle. This gene is also known as M-Locus. Merle only dilutes eumelanin (black) pigment; dogs with two copies of the allele e (homozygous e/e) at E-Locus have no black pigment, thus do not express merle. Merle is an incompletely dominant coat colour pattern characterised by irregularly shaped patches of diluted pigment and solid colour.
Caratteristiche cliniche
The M-locus has three variants (alleles): M (merle, SINE with longer poly-A tail), Mc (cryptic merle, SINE with shorter poly-A tail) and N (non-merle, no SINE insertion). Dogs with cryptic merle (also called phantom or ghost merle), typically display little to no merling and some may be misclassified as non-merles. Blue and partially blue eyes are typically seen with merle, and merle dogs often have a wide range of auditory and ophthalmologic defects.
