Non‐frameshift deletion on MITF is associated with a novel splashed white spotting pattern in horses (Equus caballus).

Among domesticated mammals, the horse ( I Equus caballus i ) currently possesses the most variants associated with white spotting patterns (Henkel et al., 2019). Phenotypes for white spotting alleles can range from small white markings on the extremities, as observed with I KIT i SP I W20 i sp , to complete white phenotypes in other mutant I MITF i or multiallelic individuals. Non-frameshift deletion on MITF is associated with a novel splashed white spotting pattern in horses (Equus caballus). [Extracted from the article]
