19/07/2018 Page 1 of 9 Genetic Screening Tests Available Symbol
Genetic Screening Tests available Symbol Name Description of variant effects Genetic Disease Testing CA is a neurological disorder that affects the cells in the cerebellum, causing head tremors, ataxia and other effects. Affected horses are more likely to fall and are generally not safe to ride. Symptoms appear from 6 weeks to around 4 months old. CA has been linked to a mutation in the TOE1 Cerebellar CA gene and is a recessive disorder, meaning that a horse must Abiotrophy be homozygous (CA/CA) to be affected. If a horse is a carrier (CA/n), it will not show any clinical signs of CA, but it will pass the variant on to approximately half its offspring. Mating to other carriers should be avoided to prevent the birth of an affected foal. LFS causes neurological dysfunction in foals. The symptoms include seizures, hyperextension of the limbs, neck and back, leg paddling, and inability to stand. As the name suggests, LFS also dilutes to the coat to a pale lavender pink or silver colour. The foal will not improve and will die, so it should be euthanised. LFS is a recessive disorder so two copies of the Lavender Foal defective version of the MYO5A gene must be inherited LFS Syndrome (LFS/LFS) for a foal to be affected. If a horse is a carrier (LFS/n), it will not show any clinical signs of LFS. However, there is a 50% chance it will pass the variant to its offspring, so mating to other carriers should be avoided to prevent the birth of an affected foal.

Identification of the Regions of the Bovine Genome
IDENTIFICATION OF THE REGIONS OF THE BOVINE GENOME ASSOCIATED WITH GRAY COAT COLOR IN A NELLORE–ANGUS CROSS POPULATION A Thesis by PAUL WESLEY HOLLAND Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, David G. Riley Committee Members, James O. Sanders Clare A. Gill Andy. D. Herring Head of Department, H. Russell Cross May 2015 Major Subject: Animal Breeding Copyright 2015 Paul Wesley Holland ABSTRACT The genetics of coat color for cattle are important to breeders and breed associations because phenotypes of these animals are used for breed recognition and premiums or discounts can be given due to the phenotypes. The gene for gray coat color has been determined in other species, but not in cattle. Gray in cattle is known to be recessive based upon observed inheritance. The objective of this study was to identify the regions of the bovine genome associated with gray coat color in a population of Nellore-Angus crossbred cattle. Additionally, proportions of each color and spotting were of interest. Animals (n = 1941) were classified into phenotypic color categories (i.e. red, black, gray, etc.). Proportions of each color group out of the population were determined, and the proportion of those phenotypes that have any form of spotting. Two genome-wide association analyses were conducted, one where phenotypically gray vs. not gray cattle were analyzed and another where cattle that were very light in color but had a reddish tinge were included as gray.

Color Coat Genetics
Color CAMERoatICAN ≤UARTER Genet HORSE ics Sorrel Chestnut Bay Brown Black Palomino Buckskin Cremello Perlino Red Dun Dun Grullo Red Roan Bay Roan Blue Roan Gray SORREL WHAT ARE THE COLOR GENETICS OF A SORREL? Like CHESTNUT, a SORREL carries TWO copies of the RED gene only (or rather, non-BLACK) meaning it allows for the color RED only. SORREL possesses no other color genes, including BLACK, regardless of parentage. It is completely recessive to all other coat colors. When breeding with a SORREL, any color other than SORREL will come exclusively from the other parent. A SORREL or CHESTNUT bred to a SORREL or CHESTNUT will yield SORREL or CHESTNUT 100 percent of the time. SORREL and CHESTNUT are the most common colors in American Quarter Horses. WHAT DOES A SORREL LOOK LIKE? The most common appearance of SORREL is a red body with a red mane and tail with no black points. But the SORREL can have variations of both body color and mane and tail color, both areas having a base of red. The mature body may be a bright red, deep red, or a darker red appearing almost as CHESTNUT, and any variation in between. The mane and tail are usually the same color as the body but may be blonde or flaxen. In fact, a light SORREL with a blonde or flaxen mane and tail may closely resemble (and is often confused with) a PALOMINO, and if a dorsal stripe is present (which a SORREL may have), it may be confused with a RED DUN.

4COLOURS of the FJORD HORSE2014
COLOURS of the FJORD HORSE By Tor Nestaas. The colours of the Fjord Horse are a variety of dun colours. The central –Asian Wild Horse, the Prezewalski horse and the European Wild Horse, the Tarpan have the same types of colour and these colours are seen to be the original colours of the wild horse. The colour is also called a primitive colour or “viltfarge“. (Protective colour ). The pure dun colours are brown dun, red dun and grey dun but variations such as “uls dun “ and yellow dun are also seen . These five colours are recognized as pure fjord horse colours. Earlier these colours could have different names in different districts, but in 1922 the Department of Agriculture decided on the names that are used today. The Annual General Meeting of NFHL in 1980 agreed that these five colours are all typical fjord horse colours and should be treated equally. Colour variations The brown dun colour (brunblakk ) is dominant, 85-90 % of all fjord horses have this colour which can be of lighter or darker shades.The body colour is pale yellow brown and can vary from cream yellow to almost light brown. The “midtstøl “the middle darker stripe through the mane, carrying on as the dorsal stripe* to the snow -shute* ( all considered as primitive markings ) is black or dark brown. In paler individuals the forelock and “sides“ (of the upright mane ) are white but darker in darker individuals. * Sometimes called eel or list. Fanshaped growth of hairs at the top of the tail Ulsdun (ulsblakk ) is a variation of brown dun because of a factor which reduces the production of pigment ; so called diluted colour.

Features of Coat Color and Markings and Impact of Dun Factor on Vyatka Horse Breed

Belousova1, Svetlana P. Bass2, Svetlana A. Zinoveva3, Sergei A. Kozlov3,*, and Sergei S. Markin3 1All-Russian Research Institute of Horse Breeding (VNIIK), 391105 Divovo Village, Ryazan Region, Russia 2Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy, 426069 Izhevsk, Russia 3Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology – MVA named after K.I. Skryabin, 109472 Moscow, Russia Abstract. The predominant coat colors in Vyatka horse breed are bay-brown (69.6 %) and mousey (20.8 %). Among the genotyped livestock, three genotypes of the base bay coat color (EE/AA, EE/Aa, Ee/AA) and two genotypes of the base solid blackcock (EE/a/a, Ee/aa) have been detected. The proportion of horses with Cr allele is 2.1 %. In Vyatka horse breed, three isabelline-brown horses (Cr/Cr) have been recorded and the presence of W20n allele was detected. Among the horses genotyped, 35.5 % are DD homozygous, 61.3 % are heterozygous (Dd1, Dd2), 3.2 % have the nd2/nd2 genotype. Allele d2 against the background of D does not always cause the presence of “wild” markings, unlike D/D. The influence of Dun-factor on the depigmentation area has not been detected. 39.9 % of horses have white markings (including 30 % of stallions), which are mainly facial markings (59.8 %), less often they are leg markings (21.6 %) or both facial and leg markings (18, 6 %). 1 Introduction At the same time, the chestnut (red and brown) coat color has become rather rare in the breed.
