Sunshine

LABOKLIN Service ID: 8525

In addition to the already known colour dilution genes such as Cream and Pearl, a further variant for dilute the coat colour has been discovered. Sunshine is inherited autosomal-recessive, that means only if the gene is homozygous (Sun/Sun) the basic colour of the horse is diluted. It is assumed that this dilution is similar to Pearl. As well as Pearl, Sunshine can interact with Cream to produce pseudo-double Cream dilute phenotypes.
