Albinism in the domestic cat (Felis catus) is associated with a tyrosinase (TYR) mutation.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2006

Imes D L, Geary L A, Grahn R A, Lyons L A

Abstract excerpt

Albino phenotypes are documented in a variety of species including the domestic cat. As albino phenotypes in other species are associated with tyrosinase (TYR) mutations, TYR was proposed as a candidate gene for albinism in cats. An Oriental and Colourpoint Shorthair cat pedigree segregating for albinism was analysed for association with TYR by linkage and sequence analyses. Microsatellite FCA931, which is...
