A missense mutation in the tyrosinase gene explains acromelanism in domesticated canaries.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2024

Abstract excerpt

Acromelanism is a form of albinism observed in several vertebrate species. In mammals, acromelanism is known to be caused by mutations in the tyrosinase gene (TYR) that induce a temperature-sensitive behavior of melanin synthesis, resulting in a characteristic hair color gradient. In birds, several phenotypes consistent with acromelanism have been reported, but their genetic basis remains unknown. This study...
