Gene frequences in Icelandic cats.

A survey of genetically determined coat polymorphisms of Icelandic cats, in Reykjavik and adjacent rural areas, has shown that these animals are quite distinct from cats previously studied in north-west Europe. The differences are interpreted to indicate that Icelandic cats represent a relict population reflecting the condition of north-west European cats in former times. Significant differences exist between the Reykjavik and rural samples studies. The Reykjavik population is more similar to north-west Europe, probably due largely to increased contact in recent years.
