Molecular Genetics

Armed with the knowledge that TYRP1 in Dexter cattle is a strong positional candidate gene for the dun phenotype (see Mapping section above), Berryere et al. (2003) showed that dun brown coat colour in Dexter cattle is due to homozygosity for a H434Y amino acid substitution in TYRP1, due to "a C to T change in nucleotide 1300 within exon 7" of the TYRP1 gene. [FN 10 Sep 2005; 21 Sep 2012]. See also OMIA:001821-9913 : Coat colour, albinism, oculocutaneous type IV for a SLC45A2 variant causing a differnt form of dilution coat colour in Dexter cattle.
