Genetic analysis of iris pigmentation in Swiss pig breeds identifies a missense <i>KITLG</i> variant as a potential causal factor for pale and heterochromatic irises

2025-09-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Iris pigmentation is a heritable trait with a complex genetic architecture. While the genetic basis of iris pigmentation has been extensively studied in humans, little is known about iris pigmentation in pigs. Iris pigmentation in pigs varies from different shades of brown or pale irises to heterochromia manifesting either as different colors between both irises (heterochromia iridum) or multi...
