OMIA 002277-64176 : Skin colour, orange/red in Podarcis muralis

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 612716 (trait) , 182125 (gene)

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal Recessive

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Inheritance: Andrade et al. (2019): "in 56 of 57 cases, orange and mosaic individuals were homozygous for one allele (hereafter o) at the SPR locus, whereas yellow and white individuals, with one exception, were either heterozygous (n = 41) or homozygous (n = 16) for the alternative allele (hereafter O): a highly significant association (recessive model, P = 9.3 × 10−29)."

Molecular basis: Andrade et al. (2019): "The signal of association for orange coloration was restricted to a noncoding region immediately upstream of SPR"
