OMIA 002006-9986 : Rex coat, r3 type in Oryctolagus cuniculus |
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Recessive
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
no
Species-specific name:
Normandy rex; Normannen-Kurzhaar
Species-specific symbol:
nok; r3
Species-specific description:
See Robinson (1958, p. 300).
History:
As recounted by Caste and Nachtsheim (1933), "in 1927, in . . . France a breeder of Himalayan rabbits, Madame Du Bary, observed that short-haired individuals were occurring among her animals. From these she established a race which we will call Rex No. 3 (Normannen-Kurzhaar)."
Mapping:
Castle and Nachtsheim (1933) showed that r3 rex segregates independently of the other two types of rex, namely r1 rex (OMIA 001566-9986) and r2 rex (OMIA 002005-9986), with the latter two having a recombination frequency of 10-12%.
