The long and the short of it: evidence that FGF5 is a major determinant of canine 'hair'-itability.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2006

Housley D J E, Venta P J

Abstract excerpt

Hair length in dogs has been known for many years to be primarily controlled by a limited number of genes, but none of the genes have been identified. One of these genes produces a recessively inherited long-haired phenotype that has been thought to explain the bulk of hair-length variation among many breeds. Sequence analysis of the FGF5 gene in short and long-haired corgis resulted in the identification of two...
