We know you’ve already heard or seen something from them. They call them Pink, or Pink, and it’s a variation that presents a pink tone with clear eyes. But are they actually albinos? After a follower asked us about this variation we took the task of investigating, and this is what we found out. Albinism is associated with Locus (C), which several alleles are known. The most dominant of these is (C) with capital, which is involved in the complete production of melanin (dark pigment) in fur, skin, and eyes, thus producing the black color on the mantle. On the other hand is the recessive allele (c), with lowercase, which dilutes melanin and causes absence of pigment. For your (visible) phenotypic expression, the dog must have a homozygotic recessive genotype, or put in other words, must have double copy of the allele (c / c). This means that between Locus himself is established a complete and incomplete domain. The C allele, which is dominant, is responsible for the total production of melanin in the fur, skin, eyes, and therefore the expression of color, while the recessive allele (c) inhibits (dilutes) the synthesis Melanin and this results in albino individuals, who lack pigment in hair, skin or eyes. A true albino could not produce any kind of color, markings or patterns besides ice white. as the lack completelv melanin. and the now known as Pink or Pink, can show visible patterns and markings as tabby dots and various colors, is say they have melanin but this one is suppressed. Inside Locus C there are also markers indicating the variable level within the pigment dilution, which are: C: Full intensity. (black full) Cch: Reduce red or yellow colors. Ce: extreme dilution of pigment. Ca o c / c: Complete Albinism, White Mantle, Iris and Translucent Pupils and Pink Skin. So things, Pink or Pink is NOT albino as it presents tonality and color, therefore not associated with Albinism related diseases.
