New insights into the melanophilin (MLPH) gene controlling coat color phenotypes in American mink.

Gene - 15 Sept 2013

Cirera Susanna, Markakis Marios N, Christensen Knud, Anistoroaei Razvan

Abstract excerpt

The mutation causing the Silverblue color type (pp) is one of the most used recessive mutations within American mink (Neovison vison) fur farming, since it is involved in some of the popular color types such as Violet and Saphire which originate from a combination of recessive mutations. In the present study, the genomic and mRNA sequences of the melanophilin (MLPH) gene were studied in Violet, Silverblue and...
