Association of a single-nucleotide substitution in TYRP1 with roux in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

We investigated TYRP1 as a candidate locus for the recessive, sex-linked roux (brr) phenotype in Japanese quail. A screen of the entire coding sequence of TYRP1 in roux and wild-type quail revealed a non-synonymous T-to-C substitution in exon 3, leading to a Phe282Ser mutation. This was perfectly as...
