Table 1. Allele frequencies of three candidate MITF polymorphisms in wolves from different geographic regions.
Geographic region | n | SINE1 | SNP#21*A 2 | Exon1B_Del |
Scandinavia | 34 | 0.32 | 0 | 0.18 |
Belarus | 4 | 0.50 | 0 | 0 |
Russia | 5 | 0.20 | 0 | 0 |
Bulgaria | 2 | 0.50 | 0 | 0 |
Spain | 6 | 0.08 | 0.08 | 0 |
Italy | 1 | 1.00 | 0 | 0 |
Canada | 7 | 0.21 | 0.14 | 0 |
The frequency of the allele with the SINE insertion is presented.
The A and G alleles at SNP#21 are associated with white spotting and solid colour, respectively.
