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.
