Biallelic KITLG variants lead to a distinct spectrum of hypomelanosis and sensorineural hearing loss. [PDF]
J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol, 2022 BACKGROUND: Pathogenic variants in KITLG, a crucial protein involved in pigmentation and neural crest cell migration, cause non-syndromic hearing loss, Waardenburg syndrome type 2, familial progressive hyperpigmentation and familial progressive hyper ...

Aberrant Pigmentation in a Schooling Cownose Ray (<i>Rhinoptera bonasus</i>) in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, USA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe report a rare case of aberrant pigmentation in a cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) observed schooling naturally within Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. Drone and in‐water imagery revealed a piebald‐like pattern without any disruption to coordinated group behavior, providing the first in situ evidence that pigmentation anomalies in this species do not ...

Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations. [PDF]
J DermatolABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

The Journal of Dermatology, 2012 AbstractPiebaldism is an uncommon autosomal dominantly inherited pigment anomaly characterized by a congenital white forelock and leukoderma on the frontal scalp, forehead, ventral trunk and extremities. It is caused by a loss‐of‐function mutation in the KIT gene.

Colour Confusion: Reviewing Ambiguities in the Identification and Classification of Chromatophore Deficiencies Among Amphibians. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe colour of amphibian skin and eyes is the result of light interacting with multiple chromatophores (xanthophores, iridophores and melanophores), leading to challenges when trying to identify which of these cells are involved in colour abnormalities.

Pastoralism, 2017 Animal breeds are the diverse outcome of the thousands-year-long process of livestock domestication. Many of these breeds are piebald, resulting from the artificial selection by pastoralists of animals bearing a genetic condition known as leucism, and selected for their productive, behavioural, or aesthetical traits.

First record of a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) off West Africa including notes on rough-toothed dolphin surface behaviour [PDF]
, 2010 In June 2009, a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) calf was photographed in a group of at least 50 dolphins in the southern Gulf of Guinea, 95 nauticol miles off the Gabon coast (01°45'S 007°29'E), West Africa. Reports of unusually pigmented
