OMIA:000214-10141 : Coat colour, white spotting in Cavia porcellus (domestic guinea pig) |
In other species: dog , domestic cat , horse , llama , taurine cattle , water buffalo
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 193510 (trait) , 103500 (trait) , 156845 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: no
Cross-species summary: Variable degree of white spotting ranging from tiny white spots up to completely white animals. The absence of pigment is caused by the absence of skin melanocytes ("leucism, leucistic"), not by failure in the biochemical reactions required for pigment synthesis.
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
