E Locus (Ancient Red) - eA (Domino)

Description

Genetic basis of eA allele - is a novel variant of the MC1R gene (E locus), called “Ancient Red” (eA). It results from a missense mutation R301C in the MC1R gene. The MC1R gene controls the type of pigment produced: eumelanin (black/brown) or pheomelanin (red/yellow). The eA allele is recessive to the wild-type E allele (which allows dark pigment) but dominant to the common recessive e allele<span style="background-color: oklch(0.9902 0.004 106.47); color: oklch(0.3
