Quick reference (rules used)
- Sex-linked red (O) is on the X-chromosome. Females have two (e.g., XO/Xo), males have one (e.g., XO/Y).
- B locus has three alleles: B (black) > b (chocolate) > bl (cinnamon).
- D locus (dilution) is a simple recessive trait. d/d is required to dilute a color.
- Agouti (A) is dominant and allows tabby patterns to show. a/a is recessive and creates solid-colored cats.
- Inhibitor (I) is dominant and removes pigment from the hair base, creating silver and smoke.
- Colorpoint (C locus) is recessive. C > cs = cb > c. cs/cs creates deep blue eyes.
- White Spotting (S) is incompletely dominant. S/S has more white than S/s.
- Amber (E) is recessive (e/e) and is masked by sex-linked red (O).
- Sunshine (Wb) is a recessive trait (wb/wb) linked to the Corin gene, visible on agouti (A/-) cats.
- Karpati (K) is a dominant roan pattern. Its genetic locus is not yet identified.
