The amount of white can vary from high (irregular) leg and body markings to a near-white coat with only a few specs of color. |

Mimics
Since there can be quite a bit of variety in the expression of W16, it can look similar to other white spotting patterns. Genetic testing or pedigree information may be necessary to tell the difference.
Genetics
W16 is a white spotting variation. It is a dominant allele of the KIT gene. One copy (W16/_) causes white spotting. Currently, no horses homozygous for W16 (W16/W16) have been found. Therefore (like many other white spotting alleles), it is predicted to be embryonic lethal when homozygous.
In our game, Horse Reality, if you breed two W16/_ W16/_ horses together, the pregnancy will fail if the foal is W16/W16 (25% chance).
Presence in horses
The W16 allele is found in Oldenburg Horses and was first found in the mare Celine, born in 2003. W16 likely originated in this mare and can be seen in several of her offspring.
