Code: P316
Short description

Clinical features
The BR1 phenotype can appear with coat texture changes or with striped pigmentation in mares. Stallions have sparse manes and tails but no texture pattern.
Additional information
The BR1 phenotype is X-linked semi-dominant which means that mares with one affected allele have the brindle phenotype compared to mares with two affected alleles which have spares manes and tails but no striped coat texture pattern. Stallions have one X chromosome and are therefore similar to the mares with two affected alleles.
