Below, for each tested locus, you will find the possible allele combinations that may be reported within this analysis, together with a brief explanation of their genetic meaning. The interpretation of possible interactions between different loci is included in the report, but is not shown here in full because that would lead to too many combinations on this page. The final expression may also depend on other genes and their interaction.
Piebald interpretation
Allele combination: CC (wildtype)
This animal does not carry the tested piebald-associated TFEC variant. It will not pass on the tested variant. Other genes can still influence colour and pattern.
Allele combination: CT (heterozygote, carrier)
This animal carries one copy of the tested piebald-associated TFEC variant. It can pass the variant to offspring. The eventual phenotype depends on the full genotype and the wider genetic context.
Allele combination: TT (homozygote)
This animal has the tested piebald-associated TFEC genotype. It will pass the tested variant to offspring. Visible patterning can still vary and may be modified by other genes.
