Part 2 - mammals

The enzyme encoded by this gene regulates several steps in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. Mutations in this gene result in oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1).

Inheritance: probably recessive.

Mouse

intense chinchilla

chinchilla (two different mutations)

exteme dilution

extreme dilution mottled

ruby-eyed dilute

platinum

himalayan

acromelanic

albino mottling

albino (several different mutations)

Inheritance: all recessive to the wild type, intermediate on various degree between each other.

Due to the great number of alleles and the rarity of some of them, I only illustrate the four most common (those with a bold lettering).

first row: sepia (cch/cch), mock chocolate (cch/ce) - this one is a fox (tan instead of solid like the rest here, note the white belly), burmese (cch/ch), stone (cch/c), second row: beige (ce/ce), colorpoint beige (ce/ch), bone (ce/c), third row: siamese point (ch/ch), himalayan (ch/c), fourth row: albino (c/c). image sources
