Informazioni generali
White spotting coat colour genotypes affect the development of melanocytes. Melanocytes produce melanin which is a dark pigment responsible for skin colour. Splashed white (SW) is a white spotting coat colour phenotype in horses characterised by loss of pigment.
Caratteristiche cliniche
SW horses are often characterised by a large broad blaze, white markings on the legs, variable white spotting on the belly and blue eyes.
Informazioni aggiuntive
Un aumento del rischio di sordità nei cavalli con il fenotipo di avvistamento bianco e/o frame overo spruzzato è stato descritto in letteratura.
