OMIA:000375-8932 : Feather colour, white spotting, EDNRB2-related in Columba livia (rock pigeon) |
In other species: Mallard , Japanese quail
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Single-gene trait/disorder: yes
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2023
Cross-species summary: Renamed from 'Feather colour, panda/dotted white' [12/08/2023], also called piebald
Species-specific name: Piebalding, piebald
Mapping: Maclary et al. (2021) used quantitative trait locus mapping to investigate eye colour in pigeons and identified two loci that contribute to piebalding. Maclary et al. (2023): "Using a combination of quantitative trait locus mapping in F2 laboratory crosses and genome-wide association analysis, we identify a locus [on linkage group 15] associated with piebalding across many pigeon breeds. This shared locus harbors a candidate gene, EDNRB2 ... . "
Molecular basis: Maclary et al. (2023) "discover multiple distinct haplotypes at the EDNRB2 locus in piebald pigeons, which include a mix of protein-coding, noncoding, and structural variants that are associated with depigmentation in specific plumage regions." The authors "identified four haplotype groups ... with distinct patterns of shared SNP genotypes that correlate with piebalding in specific body regions." Likely causal variants are reported for each group: Group1: p.(R290C) Group2: p.(A42E) Group3: regulatory variants in conserved non-coding elements (nor further specified) Group4: tandem duplication of a 37-kb region spanning from intron 1 of VAMP7 to just 5’ of EDNRB2, one of the copies is considered nonfunctional. An additional variant in the EDNRB2 was identified as the likely causal variant for recessive white (white plumage and “bull” (dark brown to black) eye colour): scaffold 507:11167700C>T; p.(E256K) (see OMIA:001252-8932 : Feather colour, recessive white in Columba livia (rock pigeon) for details).

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.
