Über den Test
8-Panel Gentest für Fellfarbemit Ergebnissen in 5 bis 10 Werktagen.
Umfasst 8 genetische Marker für Fellfarbe:
Grundfarbe (2):
- Agouti
- Extension
Dilutionen (5):
- Cream
- Pearl
- Champagne
- Silver
- Dun (D, nd1, nd2)
Depigmentierung (1):
- Grey* (G/G, G/N oder N/N)
Unser Grey-Test in Panels liefert die Anzahl der Kopien des Grey-Gens (G/G, G/N oder N/N).
Ein Genetisches Farbenzertifikat – Fellgenotyp und Nachkommenvorhersage der Fellfarbewird bereitgestellt.
Warum testen?
DNA-Tests für Fellfarben können ein wichtiges Werkzeug für die Selektion, die Eliminierung von fellbezogenen Krankheiten und die Verbesserung Ihres Gestüts sein.
Die genetische Bestimmung der Fellfarbe ermöglicht eine genaue Identifizierung des Fellgenotyps des Pferdes und hilft, die potenzielle Weitergabe der Fellfarbe an die Nachkommen vorherzusagen.
Klinische Zeichen
How the eight results build a coat colour:
- Agouti and Extension give the base coat colour: bay (A/- E/-), black (a/a E/-) or chestnut (-/- e/e)
- Cream gives palomino, buckskin or smoky black with one copy, and cremello, perlino or smoky cream with two
- Pearl shows with two copies, or with one Pearl and one Cream, and then looks much like a double Cream dilution
- Champagne gives gold, amber and classic champagne
- Silver lightens black pigment, including the mane and tail, so it shows on bay and black base coats
- Dun lightens the body and adds a dorsal stripe and leg bars. An nd1 horse can have a dorsal stripe without the lightening
- Grey acts on top of everything: the horse is born with its coat colour and turns white with age
Health. Silver also causes an eye disorder, Multiple Congenital Ocular Anomalies (MCOA): horses with two copies have the severe form and horses with one copy the milder form. Grey horses develop skin melanomas far more often than other horses. The other genes in this panel have no known link to disease. The panel does not diagnose disease; your veterinarian does.
Übertragung
A foal receives one allele of each gene from each parent, by chance. Cream and Pearl are two variants of the same gene (SLC45A2), so a horse can carry at most two of them in total. None of the eight genes is on a sex chromosome, so colts and fillies inherit them in the same way.
How each gene shows:
- Agouti: a black base coat (a/a E/-) needs two a copies and at least one E
- Extension: a chestnut base coat (-/- e/e) needs two e copies
- Cream: one copy shows, two copies show more
- Pearl: needs two copies, or one Pearl with one Cream
- Champagne, Silver, Dun and Grey: one copy is enough
Prävention
With all eight genes known, you can plan matings for the coat colours you want, and against the ones you do not.
- To be sure of a coat colour, look for a parent with two copies: a cremello (Cr/Cr) passes on Cream to 100% of its foals, and a G/G horse passes on Grey to 100% of its foals
- To avoid a surprise coat colour, check that neither parent is a hidden carrier
- To avoid the severe Silver eye form, do not mate two Silver carriers
- Have a horse that carries Silver examined by a veterinary eye specialist
- For grey horses, ask your veterinarian to include skin checks for melanoma at routine visits
Coat colour should not be the only criterion for choosing a mating partner.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
What does this panel not detect?
White patterns (tobiano, frame overo, leopard complex, sabino, splashed white, dominant white), roan, Mushroom, the rarer Cream-gene dilutions Sunshine and Snowdrop, sooty and flaxen. Tobiano, frame overo, leopard complex and PATN1 have their own tests; the others need their own tests or have no test yet.
Should I order the panel or single tests?
The panel reads all eight genes and works out the colour from them together. If you only need one or two genes, the single tests cover them.
At what age can a horse be tested?
Any age. The result never changes, and foal coats are a poor guide to the adult colour, so testing early is worthwhile.
