OMIA 002066-102329 : Shell colour in Pinctada margaritifera |
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
no
Inheritance:
From the results of strategic crosses, Ky et al. (2016) concluded that the segregation of shell colour is consistent with a single-locus "three-allele model for shell trait, whereby the black wild-type allele is dominant to the red coloration, which is dominant to the white shell".
