A noncoding melanophilin gene (MLPH) SNP at the splice donor of exon I represents a candidate causal mutation for coat color dilution in dogs
Article Abstract:
The resequencing of 5'-region of the canine melanophilin gene to identify a strong candidate single nucleotide polymorphism within the nontranslated exon 1 is presented. It showed perfect association to the dilute phenotype in 65 dilute dogs from 7 different breeds.

The genetics of cream coat color in dogs
Article Abstract:
The studies about Tyrosinase (TYR) and solute carrier family 45, member 2 (SLC45A2) in the dog as candidate genes for cream coat color in some breeds of dogs in which dogs of e/e genotype at MC1R varied in shade of phacomelanin pigmentation are presented.
