OMIA 001445-93934 : Feather colour, dilute in Coturnix japonica |
In other species:
chicken
,
Muscovy duck
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number):
609227
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Recessive
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
yes
Year key variant first reported:
2012
Cross-species summary:
Known as lavender feather colour
Species-specific name:
Bleu; Blue
Species-specific symbol:
lav
Molecular basis:
Minivielle et al. (2002) showed that this locus is orthologous to the lavender locus in chickens, which is encoded by the MLPH gene. Bed'hom et al. (2012) reported the causal mutation as being a large deletion in the region of the quail MLPH gene.
Associated gene:
