Description |
|
The Cream and Pearl coat colours are variants of the SLC45A2 gene. The Cream dilution is inherited in an incomplete dominant manner, diluting only red in the heterozygous state (palomino, buckskin) but both red and black pigments when two alleles are present (cremello, perlino, smoky cream). Pearl is recessive and has little effect when only one copy is present but it can create a pseudo-double dilute effect when two copies are present or when Pearl combines with a Cream gene. The Sunshine mutation acts similarly to Pearl, creating a pseudo-double dilute effect when paired with a heterozygous Cream gene.

Hair Sample from mane with roots (approx 30 hairs) or 1 ml whole blood in EDTA tube.
How to obtain a viable hair sample
Pull around 30 hairs from the mane of the horse with the roots (in faols hair from the tail maybe taken). Wrap the hairs around your finger or a comb, as close as possible to the skin to ensure you obtain the hair roots. Keep dry, put in a bag, label the bag with the horse name, test (s) required. Place in an envelope and send back to us together with the order form. Broken or cut off hair will not be accepted.
