Dominant White Mutations – W5, W10, W13, W20, and W22
The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory offers tests for W5, W10, W13, W20, and W22 mutations to owners who want to breed horses for dominant white or to determine the genetic status of horses with white patterning.
W20 | Horse Reality Wiki
The W20 allele is an old mutation found in many different horse breeds in real life. On Horse Reality, W20 has currently only been added to the Lipizzaner Horse. The following table lists all breeds that can currently have the W20 allele in-game.
Dominant White – W20 - Animal Genetics
Testing can determine if the coat pattern of a horse is actually dominant white (W3, W5, W10, W13, W15, and W20) or if a different modifier is present. This can be particularly useful in horses that have additional patterns, such as frame overo and tobiano.
Dominant white - Wikipedia
W20 is associated with bold face and leg markings, and can greatly increase the amount of white when combined with certain other white patterns. The W20 sequence was first discovered in 2007, but was not recognized for its effect on coat color until 2013. Horses with one copy of W5 or W22 combined with one copy of W20 tend to be white or nearly ...

W22 Discovery Solves Long-Standing Mystery | Etalon Equine …
Aug 4, 2020 · We determined the W20 genotypes in all 21 horses carrying the W22 variant (Table S2). Four of them were homozygous for W20, and all four horses with the W20/W22 genotype were completely white. Not only are these four horses with W20/W20 AND W22 proof of incredible genetic discovery, they are also stunning horses to experience firsthand. References.
