K Locus (Dominant Black)

Category:

Trait (Associated with Phenotype)

Gene:

CBD103

Variant Detected:

chr16:58965448-58965450 (canFam3): 3 bp deletion (del GGA)

Severity:

It is a trait and so is tested based on preference, not usually for health concerns.

Mode of Inheritance:

Autosomal Dominant

Recommended Screening:

Genetic testing of the CBD103 gene for the KB variant will determine if a dog is a genetic carrier of agouti gene expression. The K locus is important to understanding whether or not a dog will express agouti traits in its coat colour or if it can pass on agouti expression to its offspring.
