In other species: domestic cat , franciscana , Bengal tiger , water buffalo
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 600201 (gene) , 606202 (gene) , 184745 (gene)
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: yes
Considered a defect: no
Key variant known: yes
Year key variant first reported: 2023
Molecular basis: Chen et al. (2023) report analysis of whole genome sequencing data of a white sika deer and propose "a 10.099 kb fragment deletion of the SCF gene (stem cell factor)" [synonym of KITLG] as likely causal variant. The white sika deer was homozygous for the deletion and three related animals with unusual white patches in their faces were heterozygous for the variant.
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
