Claims
Breed: Gotland Pony (Horse)Disorder:Mode of inheritance: Autosomal dominantSummary: Dun is a wild-type coat color in horses characterized by pigment dilution with a striking pattern of dark areas termed primitive markings. (Imsland et al., 2016). Primitive markings usually appear as a dorsal stripe and bars on the legs. Primitive markings usually appear as a dorsal stripe and bars on the legs. These primitive markings were discussed at some length by Darwin (1859) (chap 5, pp. 163-167).br[IT thanks Haley Rutstein, working under the guidance of Professor Ernie Bailey, for contributions to this entry in April 2024]Defect: no

- OMIA molecular-genetics note: Following mapping, the candidate region was DNA sequenced leading to the discovery of a pair of insertions associated with the D and d1 alleles. The D allele appears as an 8 bp insertion followed downstream by a 1609 bp insertion. The d1 allele, described as having no dilution but showing primitive markings, appears as an 8 bp insertion followed downstream by a 1610 bp insertion. The d2 allele is …
