Editing Piebald (section)

==Dogs==
In many dog breeds the Piebald gene is common. The white parts of the fur interrupt the pigmented coat patterns. Dogs that may have a spotted or multicolored coat, are often called piebald if their body is almost entirely white or another solid color with spotting and patches on the head and neck. The allele is called sP on the S-locus and is localized with the MITF gene. It is [[recessive]], therefore [[homozygous]] individuals show this coat pattern, whereas the heterozygous [[Genetic carrier|carriers]] can be of solid color.<ref>Genomia: ''[https://www.genomia.cz/en/test/spotting/ White spotting in dogs]''</ref>
