Analysis of selected studbook records of the American Paint Horse Association, consisting of 687 foals sired by 13 overo stallions from non-overo mares, supports the inheritance of overo spotting as an autosomal dominant gene. More than one gene may control patterns registered as overo. Additional studies are necessary to explain the sporadic occurrence of overo spotting from nonspotted quarter horse parents and to confirm the inheritance of overo spotting in other breeds.
对美国花马协会部分种马登记簿记录的分析表明,由13匹奥洛马种公马与非奥洛马母马所生的687匹驹马支持奥洛斑点毛色作为常染色体显性基因的遗传方式。可能不止一个基因控制着登记为奥洛的毛色图案。需要进行更多研究来解释非斑点毛色的夸特马父母偶尔生出奥洛斑点毛色后代的现象,并证实奥洛斑点毛色在其他品种中的遗传情况。
