Species-specific description: Chen et al. (2021): "American Chinchilla rabbit colors include light, medium, and dark shades. Light and medium Chinchilla rabbits exhibit a matte dilution relative to dark. ... Two exon skipping and a frameshift mutation within the melanophilin (MLPH) gene are associated with coat color dilution in rabbits (Lehner et al., 2013; Fontanesi et al., 2014) [see OMIA 000031-9986 : Coat colour, dilution, MLPH-related in Oryctolagus cuniculus for references]. However, these previously reported mutations associated with coat color dilution in rabbits were not identified in the Chinchilla populations investigated here (Li et al., 2020). ... We compared genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in Rex rabbit hair follicles in a Chinchilla group (Ch) and a diluted Chinchilla group (DCh) through whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS)."
