| Method | sequencing |
| Breed list | Kurilian Bobtail |
| Heredity | A mutation in the MC1R gene (E-Locus) in the breed Kurilian Bobtail causes the coat colour of kittens born with brown tabby coat colour with a warm reddish tone to change during their first year of life. Eumelanin disappears and adult cats show a apricot-red colour, very similar to red cats. |
