OMIA:001154-9031 : Plumage pattern (Blue Andalusian) in Gallus gallus (chicken)

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal co-dominant

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Species-specific symbol: Pg

Inheritance: The characteristic "blue" plumage in the Blue Adalusian breed being due to heterozygosity at an autosomal locus was first speculated by Bateson and Saunders (1902).

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

Breed: Andalusian (Chicken) (VBO_0000442).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
