Genetics Of White Color And Iridophoroma In вђњlemon Frostвђќ Leopard Author summary the squamates (lizards and snakes) comprise a diverse group of reptiles, with more than 10,000 described species that display extensive variation in a number of important biological traits, including coloration. in this manuscript, we used quantitative genetics and genomics to map the mutation underlying white coloration in the lemon frost morph of the common leopard gecko. The leopard gecko, eublepharis macularius, is a popular companion animal, and displays a variety of coloration patterns. we took advantage of a large breeding colony and used linkage analysis, synteny, and homozygosity mapping to investigate a spontaneous semi dominant mutation, "lemon frost", that produces white coloration and causes skin.
Genetics Of White Color And Iridophoroma In вђњlemon Frostвђќ Leopard The lemon frost mutation increases the white base color of the gecko over its entire body. this results in an overall brightening of white, yellow, and orange colors of the gecko. the effects of the mutation can also be observed in a whitening of the eyes and in white color spreading down the sides onto the belly. This mutation increased the white color of the leopard gecko, resulting in 67 brightened white and yellow colors. this unique color morph was named lemon frost34 (figure 68 1). a male leopard gecko carrying the lemon frost (lf) allele, mr. frosty (figure 1b), was crossed 69 to 12 female leopard geckos of different genetic backgrounds. the f1. We investigated a spontaneous semi dominant mutation, known as "lemon frost", that causes extensive white color in leopard gecko skin. although "lemon frost" individuals are aesthetically appealing, more than 80% of them develop tumors of white color (i.e., iridophoroma) 0.5 to 5 years after birth. to identify the gene that regulates white.
