Unexpectedly high allelic diversity at the KIT locus causing dominant white color in the domestic pig.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Pielberg G, Olsson C, Syvänen A C, Andersson L

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in KIT encoding the mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (MGF) are responsible for coat color variation in domestic pigs. The dominant white phenotype is caused by two mutations, a gene duplication and a splice mutation in one of the copies leading to skipping of exon 17. Here we applied minisequencing and pyrosequencing for quantitative analysis of the number of copies with the splice form. An...
