Disease
The color variant Gold or Sunshine is a modification of the tabby coat, which is described for Siberian, Kurilian Bobtail and Toy Bob. A mutation in the CORIN gene causes an enlargement of the pheomelanin band of the hair. Affected animals are characterized by a enlightenment of the tabby markings, a cream to white area around the nose extending to the chest, and a pink nose without the dark outline typical of tabby cats. The color variation can only occur if the cat has the genotype AA or Aa at the agouti locus.
