OMIA 001416-9615 : Coat colour, dominant black in Canis lupus familiaris |
In other species:
gray wolf
,
coyote
,
water buffalo
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number):
606611 (gene)
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Dominant
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
yes
Year key variant first reported:
2007
Cross-species summary:
Also known as the K locus
History:
Kerns et al. (2003) designated this locus as the K locus.
Molecular basis:
Candille et al. (2007) reported the causal mutation as "a 3–base pair (bp) deletion in the second exon of CBD103, the ortholog of human DEFB103, that predicts an in-frame glycine deletion (ΔG23)".
Prevalence:
Ollivier et al. (2003) reported that "Our results suggest that the KB allele was present in European dogs as early as the Mesolithic 11 000 to 8 000 cal. BP (a remain from an homozygote dog-morphotype specimen has been found in Icoana, Romania, . . . ). To our knowledge there is no earlier evidence of “black” dogs (nor wolves) in Eurasia."

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.
