MLPH - Melanophilin
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in melanosome transport and serves as link between melanosome-bound RAB27A and the motor protein MYO5A. Mutations here cause "standard" dilution.

onyx
Inheritance: recessive to the wild type, intermediate with each other.
opal, onyx, opal and onyx variations (mogno proved to be the same mutation as opal)

Domestic ferret
silver
Inheritance: intermediate.
Light silver, dark silver. I couldn't find trustworthy illustrations for these colors, however i tried to choose pictures according to the descriptions in paper identifying the mutation: "the homozygotes for the mutant type are almost completely white, and the heterozygotes have a weakened color and white spots in various parts of the skin".

silverblue (two mutations)
