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 Brown, or B-Locus, corresponds to the gene ‘tyrosinase-related protein 1’ (TYRP1), which controls the production of black pigment. Several different recessive mutations can result in a lightening of the dog’s coat from black to brown. The mutation analysed in this particular test occurs specifically in the Australian Shepherd.
Caratteristiche cliniche
Affected dogs that would otherwise have a black coat develop a brown coat instead. If the dog is also affected by the D-Locus mutation, the dog will be lilac or isabella.
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.
