A single point-mutation within the melanophilin gene causes the lavender plumage colour dilution phenotype in the chicken
BACKGROUND: The lavender phenotype in the chicken causes the dilution of both black (eumelanin) and red/brown (phaeomelanin) pigments. Defects in three genes involved in intracellular melanosomal transport, previously described in mammals, give rise to similar diluted pigmentation phenotypes as thos...
