Table 1. ASIP diplotype association with pattern phenotype.

Pattern phenotype	Promoter diplotype	Concordant	Discordant
Dominant Yellow (n = 114)^a	VP1-HCP1 / VP1,2-HCP1,3,4,5	113	1^b
Shaded Yellow (n = 64)^a	VP2-HCP1 / VP2-HCP1,3,5	52	12^b
Agouti (n = 46)	VP2-HCP2 / VP2-HCP2,3,5	46	0
Black Saddle (n = 53)	VP1-HCP4 / VP1,2-HCP3,4	53	0
Black Back (n = 89)	VP2-HCP3,4,5 / VP2-HCP3,4,5	89	0

Previous studies did not differentiate between the dominant yellow and the shaded yellow phenotype.

These dogs had a eumelanistic masking pattern, which prevented reliable phenotype distinction between dominant yellow and shaded yellow.
