The results of this study suggest that differential expression of ASIP determine pigment-type switching in a MC1R and K allele-dependent manner in dogs.

high heterozygosity and allelic differences at the MC1R locus may explain both the mixed color coat, of yellow and black, and the difference in coat colors in both Kunming dog populations

2 key mutations in the MC1R gene and the CBD103 gene are associated with the phenotypic discriminations among brindle, red/sesame, and white coats.

This new allele is dominant to the E and e (p.Arg306ter) alleles at MC1R but recessive to the E(M) (p.Met264Val) allele.

Comparative linkage analysis of chromosome showed that "ZFP276-MC1R-GAS8" linkage group was conservative in human, chimpanzee, chicken and dog.
