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.
Yellow Belly interpretation (variant 1)
Allele combination: No tested Yellow Belly variant detected (wt/wt)
This animal does not carry the tested EDNRB2-associated Yellow Belly variant. Other alleles in the Yellow Belly complex or other colour and pattern factors can still influence the final appearance.
Allele combination: One copy of the tested Yellow Belly variant (wt/del)
This animal carries one copy of the tested EDNRB2-associated Yellow Belly variant. One copy can already influence colour or pattern in this series and can be passed on to offspring. The visible result can still vary, especially in combination with other alleles in the Yellow Belly complex.
Allele combination: Two copies of the tested Yellow Belly variant (del/del)
This animal has two copies of the tested EDNRB2-associated Yellow Belly variant. That supports stronger expression of this specific allele and this variant will be passed on to offspring. The final appearance can still vary because of other colour and pattern factors.
Yellow Belly interpretation (variant 2)
