• N/ - Negative for PATN1.  Absence of the dominante PATN1 gene - non spotted horse.
• PATN1/N - Positive heterozygous for PATN1 (Dominant). Presence of one copy of the dominant PATN1 gene responsible spotted coat. The horse can pass the PATN1 variant to 50% of their progeny when bred.
• PATN1/ -  Positive homozygous for PATN1 (Dominant). Presence of two copies of the dominant PATN1 gene responsible for spotted coat.  The horse will pass the PATN1 gene to 100% of its offspring.
