  • I . the Color Gene C
    THE ABC OF COLOR INHERITANCE IN HORSES W. E. CASTLE Division of Genetics, University of California, Berkeley, California Received October, 27, 1947 HE study of color inheritance in horses was begun in the early days of Tgenetics. Indeed many facts concerning it had already been established earlier, by DARWINin his book on “Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication.” At irregular inteivals since then, new attempts have been made to collect and classify in terms of genetic factors the records contained in stud books concerning the colors of colts in relation to the colors of their sires and dams. A full bibliography is given by CREWand BuCHANAN-SMITH (19301. By such studies, we have acquired very full information as to what color a colt may be expected to have, when the color of its parents and grandparents is known. This knowledge is empirical rather than experimental in nature. For horses being slow breeding and expensive are rarely available for direct experi- mental study, such as can be made with the small laboratory mammals, mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. We have definite information that color inheritance in horses involves the existence of mutant genes similar to those demonstrated by experimental studies to be involved in color inheritance of other mammals. But the horse genes have been given special names, as they were successively discovered, and it is difficult at present to correlate them with the better known names and geneic symbols used by the experimental breeders. The present paper is an attempt to make such a correlation. Just as in morphological studies comparative anatomy was found useful and still is used to establish homologies between systems of organs, so in mammalian genetics, a comparative study of gene action in the production of coat colors and color patterns may also be of value.

  • The Occurrence of Silver Dilution in Horse Coat Colours
    ISSN 1392-2130. VETERINARIJA IR ZOOTECHNIKA (Vet Med Zoot). T. 60 (82). 2012 THE OCCURRENCE OF SILVER DILUTION IN HORSE COAT COLOURS Erkki Sild, Sirje Värv and Haldja Viinalass Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences Kreutzwaldi 1, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; Tel: +372 731 3469; Fax: +372 742 2344; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The MC1R allele “e” in the homozygous state leads to the production of pheomelanin and is responsible for inhibition of expression of the silver dilution gene (PMEL17 “Z” allele). Horse coat colour is one of the traits breeders select for. A total of 133 horses representing Estonian Native (48), Estonian Heavy Draught (40) and Tori (45) breeds were genotyped for key polymorphisms at C901T in MC1R, the 11 bp deletion in ASIP and C1457T in PMEL17 to determine horse coat colour variation and selection possibilities to increase silver-diluted colours. Our genotyping results showed the “ee” genotype frequency in the MC1R gene to be as follows: Estonian Native 45.8%, Estonian Heavy Draught 65.0%, and Tori 77.8%, and the “Z_” genotype in PMEL17 to be 10.4%, 12.5%, and 0.0%, respectively. Six of total 133 horses with silver dilution were examined for MCOA. No eye abnormalities were detected. Considering the PMEL17 gene singly, silver coat colour could be expressed phenotypically in 12% of genotyped Estonian Heavy Draught horses, but due to unfavourable covariation with the MC1R “e” allele, it only occurred in two per cent of horses. Keywords: ASIP, horse coat colour, MC1R, MCOA, PMEL17, silver phenotype.

  • 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.

  • Dachshund Coat Colours and Their Inheritance
    02/04/2017 Dachshund Coat Colours and their inheritance Helen Geeson BSc(hons) PGCE Background 2 sizes (3 in FCI countries) 3 coat types 3 base colours 3 modifiers 4 patterns = 216 different combinations!! 1 02/04/2017 Coat colour Coat colour in Dachshunds is controlled by at least 7 different genes, each of which can exist in more than one version (allele). The way they interact gives us the unique colours we see in our dogs. Understanding these genes and how they work together gives us the potential to predict (in most cases) the colour of puppies in any litters we breed and ensure that we don’t produce any of the colour linked health problems. Base colours - red 2 02/04/2017 Base colours – black Base colours - Chocolate 3 02/04/2017 Modifiers - Cream Cream is a separate gene (the “intensity” gene), it is a recessive gene so can be passed on even if the parents don’t show it. To be cream or have cream markings (rather than tan markings) then the dog has to have 2 copies of the cream gene, 1 from each parent. A cream dog (or one with cream markings) will still be one of the base colours, but the cream gene dilutes the pheomelanin areas (areas that have red/tan hairs). So a genetically red dog will become cream and a black and tan dog will become black and cream. 4 02/04/2017 Modifiers – Recessive (ee) red Occasionally a clear red or cream puppy will occur in a litter where traditionally breeders would have thought it impossible.

  • A Mutation in the MATP Gene Causes the Cream Coat Colour in the Horse ∗ Denis MARIAT , Sead TAOURIT, Gérard GUÉRIN

Evol. 35 (2003) 119–133 119 © INRA, EDP Sciences, 2003 DOI: 10.1051/gse:2002039 Original article A mutation in the MATP gene causes the cream coat colour in the horse ∗ Denis MARIAT , Sead TAOURIT, Gérard GUÉRIN Laboratoire de génétique biochimique et de cytogénétique, Département de génétique animale, Institut national de la recherche agronomique, Centre de Recherche de Jouy, 78352 Jouy-en-Josas Cedex, France (Received 12 August 2002; accepted 4 November 2002) Abstract – In horses, basic colours such as bay or chestnut may be partially diluted to buckskin and palomino, or extremely diluted to cream, a nearly white colour with pink skin and blue eyes. This dilution is expected to be controlled by one gene and we used both candidate gene and positional cloning strategies to identify the “cream mutation”. A horse panel including reference colours was established and typed for different markers within or in the neighbourhood of two candidate genes. Our data suggest that the causal mutation, a G to A transition, is localised in exon 2 of the MATP gene leading to an aspartic acid to asparagine substitution in the encoded protein. This conserved mutation was also described in mice and humans, but not in medaka. horse / coat colour / underwhite / cream / MATP 1. INTRODUCTION In mammals, coat colour is defined by two pigments in the skin and the hair, the black eumelanin and red pheomelanin. The specific colour of an animal thus depends on the pattern, the geographical distribution of the two pigments on the body, and on the relative quantity of both pigments.

  • Champagne Delusion
    Champagne Delusion: Champagne Look-Alike Dilutions Carolyn Shepard Here at ICHR, we find ourselves in some interesting situations involving unusual horse colors. Until we can remove the perception from people’s minds that champagne is a “default” horse color (if we can’t figure out the color - it must be champagne), and replace that perception with the idea that champagne is a specific color GENE, and not just a set of symptoms (why, my horse shows every characteristic of a champagne, so it must be one!), we’ll keep getting stuck in this uncomfortable rut of trying to explain why a certain horse is NOT champagne. The main point of this article will be that a horse does NOT have every characteristic of a champagne-colored horse – if it does not have a champagne-colored parent. Cream Dilutes: The Bane of Our Existence It’s an unfortunate fact that a seemingly large proportion of palomino foals are born with pink skin and blue eyes. This is the most common condition that is mistaken for champagne. While it is true that “most” gold champagne foals are born a shade of red, and “most” palomino foals are born a shade of cream, peach or yellow, it is not unheard of for gold champagne foals to be born yellow, and palomino foals to be born red. So the overlap between them is considerable, and a person would be hard-pressed to tell which was which - unless they had parents to look at. In the case of mixed parentage - where there is both cream and champagne in the background - only time and cream gene testing will tell.
