Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominant

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Species-specific symbol: Lf

Species-specific description: "The filoplumes in the fluff areas of the body [are] 1-10 cm longer than the adjacent definitive feathers." (Somes, 1990)

Inheritance: Somes (1990) lists this as single-locus autosomal dominant, on the basis of unpublished evidence by Dr W.H. McGibbon.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
