Categories: Pigmentation phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: no

Key variant is published: no

Molecular basis: Yu et al. (2017) reported that a c.-638T>C SNP in the MITF promoter in Muchuan black-boned chickens is associated with skin colour; the T allele with black skin and the C allele with white skin.

Breed: Muchuan Silkies Black, China (Chicken) (VBO_0006731).
