Proto-oncogene c-KIT is the gene encoding the receptor tyrosine kinase protein known as tyrosine-protein kinase KIT, CD117 (cluster of differentiation...

white (W) is a group of genetically related coat color alleles on the KIT gene of the horse, best known for producing an all-white coat, but also able...

dilution gene is any one of a number of genes that act to create a lighter coat color in living creatures. There are many examples of such genes: Diluted...

alleles on the KIT gene. The genetics behind some types of sabino, such as that found in Clydesdales, have not yet been identified. Some genes, such as Sabino-1...

The cream gene is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses that have the cream gene in addition to a base coat color that is chestnut will...

The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse. The dun gene lightens most of the body while leaving...

KIT gene is the primary candidate gene for roan. While a chromosomal inversion of KIT causes tobiano white spotting, KIT also harbors one or more alleles...

tobiano gene. Originally, there was no direct test for tobiano; the early tobiano tests utilized six genetic markers, including a marker on the KIT gene on...

Identified in 2014, the mushroom gene is a recessive dilution gene that affects red pigment in horses. On a chestnut base coat the horse is born a pale...

driven by mutations in the KIT gene (85%), PDGFRA gene (10%), or BRAF kinase (rare). 95% of GISTs stain positively for KIT (CD117). Most (66%) occur in...
