The E-Allele test determines how many copies of the recessive «e» alleles a dog carries.

This mutation is recessive so two copies of the mutated gene (or «d» allele) are needed to produce the dilute coat color.

«E», normal extension of black, allows the A-series alleles to show through, and «e», recessive red / yellow, overrides whatever gene is present at the A locus to produce a dog which shows only phaeomelanin pigment in the coat.

Only when both of the alleles at the E locus are the recessive e allele, will the coat be yellow.

The traditional color, produced when one or both genes have the dominant allele, is commonly referred to as black or black and rust (also called black and tan), while the most common variation, due to both genes having the recessive allele, produces what is called a red or red and rust Doberman in America and a «brown» Doberman in the rest of the world, which is primarily deep reddish - brown with rust markings.

Many of endearing unique traits in dog breeds today are the result of homozygous recessive alleles being forever paired together in the future generations.

Because it is a recessive mutation, a dog must have two copies of the recessive long - hair allele (l / l) to express that gene and cause the dog to have long hair.

Animal Genetics currently offers a test to determine the number of copies of the recessive «long hair» allele a dog carries.

For a lab to have the silver color that has become so popular over the last several years, this D pair must have two recessive alleles (dd) and results in a dilute color of the solid color.

Each gene is made up of a pair of «alleles» and each allele has a dominant or recessive variant.

Moreover, overrepresentation of a popular sire's genome risks the widespread dissemination of monogenetic inherited disorders by inflating the allele frequency of recessive deleterious variants carried by the sire and increasing the probability of identity by descent of undesirable alleles in his descendants [18,20,21].

The recessive allele, ky, allows the basic patterns of the A locus to be expressed.

Testing for this mutation along with Ay and recessive black (a) also allows for the identification of aw alleles in those breeds where it is present.In breeds where only the Ay and at alleles are present, the Ay test can be used to see if the fawn / sable dog is Ay / Ay (homozygous) or only has one Ay (heterozygous).
