OMIA:001699-9031 : Inhibitor of dermal melanin in Gallus gallus (chicken)

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Z-linked incomplete dominant

Disease-related: no

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Also known as shank colour, which is not to be confused with Skin colour, yellow (OMIA 001449-9031), which is sometimes called yellow shank.

Species-specific symbol: Id

Mapping: Dorshorst et al. (2010) mapped this locus to "72.3 Mb on chromosome Z"
