THE CREME GENE IS AN "INCOMPLETE DOMINANT" THAT CREATES PALOMINO, BUCKSKIN, CREMELLO, PERLINO, SMOKY BLACK, and SMOKY CREAM. Like all Dilution Genes, it "bleaches out" the base coat. This band of wild horses include almost the full range of Creme Gene coloring
* Smokey Cream horses and perlino horses look pretty much the same, visually. The new Creme and Agouti tests on the market now allow accurate identification.
The Creme Gene is an Incomplete Dominant.
It is Dominant in that if a horse has just one creme gene, it will affect the horse's coloring.
Its Dominance is "Incomplete" in that the effect created by one gene is magnified when there are two.
Thus, a single gene lightens red to palomino. A double set of creme genes further bleaches it to the nearly-white, blue-eyed, pink-skinned Cremello.
Both The University of California at Davis and Animal Genetics, Inc. of Florida can test for the presence of Tobiano, Red, Frame, Creme, Silver, Sabino1, and Agouti (Bay). The test for Tobiano can determine whether or not a horse is homozygous of heterozygous (good to know if you are trying to breed for Tobiano).
You can download forms for these tests from their website-- follow the links from http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu
