An Overview of Feline Coat Colour Genetic Pet Care An Overview of Feline Coat Colour Genetic Pet Care June 2014 Please Note: Feline coat colour cannot be determined by a DNA test alone. There are a number of genes that cannot be determined via genetics and infl uence coat colour. These include the O (orange/red) gene, ORIVET GENETIC PET CARE the W (dominant white) gene, the Silver gene and the S (spotting) gene. To determine the coat colour of a Suite 102A/163-169 Inkerman Street cat the genetic information, pedigree and a photo of the cat tested is required. St Kilda 3182 Australia The nomenclature used to report traits may vary from laboratory to laboratory. In general all results are PO Box 110 reported as NORMAL (does not carry the mutation), CARRIER (carries one copy) or AFFECTED (has two St Kilda 3182 VIC Australia copies). All aff ected animals will show that trait. The nomenclature used below is that as established and published by Dr Lesley Lyons. t +61 3 9534 1544 f +61 3 9525 3550 DILUTE (BLACK to GREY/BLUE; ORANGE to CREAM) © Copyright 2014 Orivet MLPH gene c.83delT mutation Reference: Ishida Y, David VA, Eizirik E, et al.

Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA.

  • Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium.

  • Birmans: What a Unique Breed! PET MEDICAL CENTER
    Birmans: What a Unique Breed! Your cat is special! She senses your moods, is curious about your day, and has purred her way into your heart. Chances are that you chose her because you like Birmans (sometimes called “Mitted Cats”) and you expected her to have certain traits that would fit your lifestyle, like: Might "chirrup" or trill her meows to call you when she misses you An affectionate companion and family cat Good with children and other pets Requires minimal grooming Excellent companion However, no cat is perfect! You may have also noticed these characteristics: Needs regular exercise and diet regulation to avoid weight gain Needs the company of other pets or people and does not do well in isolation Exhibits signs of separation anxiety if left alone too much Is it all worth it? Of course! She's full of personality, and you love her for it! She is gentle, friendly and loves to be involved in your daily activities. The origin of the Birman remains a mystery with many unverified tales of their beginnings. Born all white, Birmans do not develop their full color until maturity. They keep their unique white “mittens” on all four paws. Birmans are very social and happy to be involved in your daily activities. They are less apt to climb and jump onto high places, preferring to hang out at ground level or on the couch. Birmans have a playful side and will play fetch or chase when engaged, but prefer to lounge with their family. PET MEDICAL CENTER 501 E.

  • The Genetic Uniqueness of Birmans and How They Got Their Gloves!
    Everything you need to know about Genetics… You can learn from your Cat! BY DR. LESLIE LYONS Ph.D PART THREE THE GENETIC UNIQUENESS OF BIRMANS AND HOW THEY GOT THEIR GLOVES! The Birman, also called ‘The Sacred Cat of Burma,’ is said to have origins from College Burma, the current day Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Although Burma was a of British colony during much of the 1800’s up to post- World War II, which is during Veterinary the time in which many cat breeds were developed, the term “Birman” is derived Medicine, from the French word for Burma – “Birmanie”¹. University GENETIC &/OR DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGINS of Several genetic studies have indicated cats from the Birman breed, consistently, Missouri genetically cluster with cats from Southeast Asia, including, Siamese, Korats, Burmese and random bred cats from the region (Figure 1)2-4. The Birman breed history suggests their development was prominent in France with cross – breeding to Persians to obtain the long hair, particularly after the World Wars, which decimated the breed in Europe. However the genetic crosses were accomplished, the Birman has retained an overall genetic signature from Southeast Asia (Figure 1). Some breeds, with obvious Southeast Asian traits liked the bobbed tail, specifically the Japanese Bobtail, have not retained their genetic Southeast Asian origins2-5. COAT LENGTH For Birmans, the Siamese points, are clearly a Southeast Asia trait, however, Birmans have the same genetic variant for longhair in the gene fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) as Persians, the c.475A>C variant, which is the oldest and most common variant for longhair in all cat breeds6,7.
