A pure white tiger has no stripes and are completely white. A knockout mutation on this gene leads to albinism, the ability to make neither pheomelanin (red and yellow pigments) nor eumelanin (black and brown pigments), whereas a less severe mutation in the same gene leads to selective lack of pheomelanin, the so-referred to as Chinchilla trait, in different mammals.
