Informations générales
An imcomplete dominant mutation to the keratin gene KRT71 is responsible for the growth of a curly rather than straight coat in certain dogs. The variant analysed in this test, designated as c^2, is found in breeds such as the Bichon Frise, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Curly Coated Retriever and Lagotto Romagnolo. A closely related variant, designated as c^1, is originally found in the Portuguese Water Dog, though appears in many other breeds.
Caractéristiques cliniques
Affected dogs with two mutated alleles have a curly-haired coat instead of a straight coat. Animals that carry one mutated allele have an in-between phenotype: a wavy coat. Coats must be of sufficient length to curl in the first place.
Additional Information
Il y a quelques indications que la variante représente probablement un facteur de risque génétique pour certaines formes de dysplasie folliculaire chez le chien.
