OMIA:000449-452646 : Heggedal factor (coat colour) in Neovison vison (American mink) |
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Single-gene trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant
Disease-related: yes
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2022
Species-specific name: Shadow coat colour
Inheritance: The Sh allele seems to be autosomal dominant and Sh/Sh is lethal (Nes, 1963, 1964).
Molecular basis: Manakhov et al. (2022) "performed whole-genome sequencing of the American mink with a Shadow Silverblue (Sh /+ p/p) phenotype. We identified a missense mutation (c.2374 G>T) in the gene encoding the KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase gene (KIT) ... . The reported mutation results in amino acid substitution p.Asp792Tyr in a highly conserved catalytic loop of the KIT protein."

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.
