sunshine and sunshine silver coat colours modification
The newly discovered sunshine / Golden / CORIN varian is a colour modification mutation found in Siberian cats, Kurilian Bobtail cats and
The sunshine modification is expressed in tabby cats, which are homozygous for the mutation.The bimetal modification is expressed in silver tabby cats, which are either homozygous (CORIN/CORIN) or heterozygous (N/CORIN) for the sunshine mutation.
Golden is a modification of the tabby coat. In the Siberian breed, it causes a specific golden coat colour known as sunshine. Sunshine tabby cats express a warm tone of tabby, a pink nose lacking the black lining and a large light cream area around the nose.
Please note that this test can now also detect the extreme sunshine variant which is another variant that causes the Gold sunshine pattern

2 ) Coat Colour Variant Gold ( Copper ) / Wide Band
|
|
Description |
|
The colour variant gold is a modifier of the tabby pattern, and it is found in British Shorthair cats. A mutation in the CORIN gene causes enlargement of the pheomelanin bands of the hair and restricts the eumelanin to the hair tip. Affected animals are characterized by lighter tabby markings and golden coloration, which can range from a warm tone to copper-coloured phenotype with a red coat and ivory markings on the belly and upper sides of the paws. The colour variation can only occur in genetically tabby cats, which are cats with the genotype AA or Aa at the agouti locus (see Coat colour Variant Agouti (Tabby).
A test for the coat colour variant gold / copper in British shorthair is now available at Laboklin. If you have already tested a cat with us before for any coat colour, you can order the test on stored DNA without having to send in a new sample.
