OMIA 000142-9031 : Blue eggshell in Gallus gallus |
Later in the same year, Wragg et al. (2013) reported the same insertion mutation in native chickens of Chile (Mapuche fowl) and in European derivative breeds. Consistent with the Araucana breed having arisen from the Chilean Mapuche fowl, the insertion in these chickens is at the same location as reported by Wang et al. (2013) for the Araucana breed. Wragg et al. (2013) also confirmed the different site of insertion in Chinese breeds, thus confirming the independent occurrence of the insertion in native Chinese and native Chilean chickens. As noted by Wragg et al. (2013), the fact that all European breeds with blue eggshells have the Mapuche insertion site rather than the Chinese insertion site suggests "that the presence of blue eggs in Mapuche fowl, modern European and American breeds, did not involve birds from Asia". As also noted by Wragg et al. (2013), the fact that the insertion is not present in any of the jungle fowl species from which domestic chickens arose, and the near-identity of sequence of the Chinese and Chilean insertions, suggest that the insertions are recent, post-domestication events.
Li et al. (2019) showed that "methylation of the promoter region of SLCO1B3 was significantly negatively correlated with both SLCO1B3 expression in the shell gland tissue and eggshell color. In addition, we predicted that CpG5 and CpG8 may be key sites for regulating SLCO1B3 gene transcription. Our findings show that as the level of methylation increases, methylation of the CpG5 and CpG8 sites hinders the binding of transcription factors to the promoter, reducing SLCO1B3 expression during the late period and resulting in a lighter eggshell color."
Chen et al. (2020) "observed an alteration in the expression patterns of SLCO1B3 ... due to the retroviral EAV-HP insertion in different genotypes and sexes of blue-eggshell Yimeng chickens."

Variants
By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.
WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.
Since October 2021, OMIA includes a semiautomated lift-over pipeline to facilitate updates of genomic positions to a recent reference genome position. These changes to genomic positions are not always reflected in the ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘verbal description’ fields in this table.
