In donkeys, dominant white corresponds to complete depigmentation: the animal is born with a white coat, pink skin and dark eyes. A variant in the KIT gene, c.662A>C, was identified in a donkey showing this phenotype and is considered a candidate variant associated with dominant white. The genetic test can be used to detect this variant and identify animals that carry it. However, the available data remain preliminary, as this variant was observed in only one white donkey in the study.
