OMIA 001866-9685 : Hypotrichosis, Don Sphynx in Felis catus |
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Incompletely Dominant
Considered a defect:
yes
Key variant known:
no
Species-specific name:
Also known as Donskoy and Russian hairless
Inheritance:
Zhigachev et al. (2000) reported autosomal incompletely dominant inheritance.
Molecular basis:
In contrast to the situation with Canadian Sphynx cats, whose hairlessness is due to a mutation in KRT71 (see OMIA 001583-9685), Dierks et al. (2013) ruled out mutations in KRT71 as being causal for the hairlessness of Don Sphynx cats.
Breed:
Don Sphynx.
