Epistatic interactions between at least three loci determine the "rat-tail" phenotype in cattle.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The "rat-tail" syndrome (RTS) is an inherited hypotrichosis in cattle, which is exclusively expressed in diluted coloured hair. The affected animals also suffer from disturbed thermoregulation, which impairs their health and growth performance. Phenotypic features that are similar to RTS are observed in dogs with black hair follicle dysplasia. RESULTS: We used a resource cross population between...
