Our Testing
Embark tests for the original and most common curly coat variant, C1. We do not test for C2.
Understanding the Variants of KRT71
Two variants in the Keratin-71 gene (KRT71) are associated with curly hair in dogs.
Dogs with these curl variants have curly coats or wavy coats depending on how many copies of the allele they possess.
C1 refers to the original missense variant (R151W), while C2 refers to a separate insertion/deletion variant (S422Rfs).
Finding your KRT71 Result
You can find your dog's result for this gene under Coat Texture in the Other Coat Traits section of "His / Her Traits."
This result is only available to Breeders or pet parents who purchased a Breed + Health or Purebred Kit.
