The Siamese breed is the best example of the Colour-Point. In this pattern, the coat pigmentation is present only at extremities (paws, muzzle, tail), which can be black, blue, red, lilac.
The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive.
The ANTAGENE laboratory proposes a genetic sceening test for Colour-Point, in order that breeders have a simple way to foresee the kitten pattern.
