OMIA:001259-9228 : Feather colour, TYRP1-related in Psittacula krameri (Rose-ringed parakeet)

In other species: chicken

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 115501 (gene) , 612271 (trait)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Z-linked recessive

Disease-related: unknown

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2025

Cross-species summary: Renamed from "Feather colour, chocolate" to "Feather colour, TYRP1-related" [20/04/2025].

Species-specific name: Feather/plumage colour cinnamon

Molecular basis: Ghosh Roy et al. (2025) identified two likely causal variants for the sex-linked cinnamon colour morph by sequence analysis the candidate gene TYRP1: c.86‐95del (p.(C29fs*64)) and c.691G>A (p.(E231K)). Animals with the cinnamon colour morph were either homozygous for the missense variant or compound heterozotes for both variants.

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.
