  3. Erythrism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrism

    Erythrism or erythrochroism refers to an unusual reddish pigmentation of an animal's hair, skin, feathers, or eggshells. [1] Causes of erythrism include: Genetic mutations which cause an absence of a normal pigment and/or excessive production of others [2] Diet, as in bees feeding on "bright red corn syrup" used in maraschino cherry ...

  4. Leucism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucism

    Some genetic conditions that result in a "leucistic" appearance include piebaldism, Waardenburg syndrome, vitiligo, Chédiak–Higashi syndrome, flavism, isabellinism, xanthochromism, axanthism, amelanism, and melanophilin mutations. Pale patches of skin, feathers, or fur (often referred to as "depigmentation") can also result from injury.

    Unusual names have caused issues for scientists explaining genetic diseases to lay-people, such as when an individual is affected by a gene with an offensive or insensitive name. [14] This has particularly been noted in patients with a defect in the sonic hedgehog gene pathway and the disease formerly named CATCH22 for "cardiac anomaly, T-cell ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_organism

    A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination". [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_cat_body-type_mutations

    Since 2014, it is illegal in the Netherlands to breed with parent cats which bear genetic mutations or other physical abnormalities that cause health or welfare issues in their offspring. [15] [16] Examples of these genetic mutations and physical abnormalities are dwarfism, the lack of protecting fur in hairless cats, and fold-eared cats.

  8. Mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation

    Neomorphic mutations are a part of the gain-of-function mutations and are characterized by the control of new protein product synthesis. The newly synthesized gene normally contains a novel gene expression or molecular function. The result of the neomorphic mutation is the gene where the mutation occurs has a complete change in function. [57]
