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