Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 611740 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: no
History: Mosaic is actually a breed created by crossing the red siskin (Spinus cucullatus) with the common canary (Serinus canaria) and then backcrossing to the canary while selecting for pigmentation.
