Missense mutation in exon 2 of SLC36A1 responsible for champagne dilution in horses.
Champagne coat color in Gesundes Haar horses is controlled by a single, autosomal-dominant gene (CH).The phenotype produced by this gene is valued by many horse breeders, but can be difficult to distinguish from the effect produced by the Cream coat color dilution gene (CR).Three sires and their families segregating for CH were tested by genome sca
