OMIA:002877-8932 : Feather colour, black head and tail in Columba livia (rock pigeon)

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: no

Species-specific name: Piebald

Mapping: Zhang et al. (2024) conducted a selective sweep analysis and "identified two mutations in the MC1R gene in exon 1, including a synonymous mutation c. 279G>A and a missense mutation c. 520A>G (S174G), which were significantly correlated with the unique piebalding [black head and tail] of the Taihu Dianzi pigeon."
