OMIA:001927-8932 : Lace feathering in Columba livia |
Categories: Integument (skin) phene
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Mode of inheritance: Autosomal incomplete dominant
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: no
Species-specific name: Also known as silky plumage
Species-specific description: As noted by Feng et al. (2014), this trait is very different from silky feathering in chickens (OMIA 000913-9031): "The structure of the silky plumage (also named lace-feathering locus) in domestic pigeons (e.g. Silky Fantail) and Ring-neck Doves is completely different with the silky-feather in chicken [Cole and Hollander (1939)]. The silky pigeons have hooklets on the barbules, and the hooklets are abnormally thickened [Miller, 1956]. Moreover, the barbules are weak and their elasticity is poor. The lace-feathering locus is controlled by an autosomal gene with incomplete dominance [Cole and Hollander (1939)], [Miller, 1956]."
Breed: Silky fantail (Pigeon) (VBO_0016852).
