| The white tigers of Rewa and gene homology in the Felidae | |
| 1969 Genetica (40): 198-200 | |
The white tigers is a chinchillated variety, with the yellow pigment completely eliminated and the black pigment altered to a dark sepia-brown. The causative mutant gene is inherited as an autosomal recessive and is seemingly a homologue of chinchilla mutants in other mammalian species. It is proposed that the gene be re-symbolized as _cch_. |
