Molecular basis: Hadjiconstantouras et al. (2008) could not find any substantial association between polymorphisms at this locus and coat colour in Meishan x Large White cross. Lim et al. (2011) provided convincing evidence that whole-body roan is due to a U(26) repeat in intron 5 of the KIT gene, which is likely to mediate skipping of exon 5 of the gene in some tissues including skin, resulting in the roan phenotype.

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.
