The objectives of this research were to quantify the fiber color variation, to determine the association of MC1R and ASIP genes and their respective interaction in the expression of black and brown fleece in Huacaya alpacas. Fiber color was quantified by colorimetry, grouping black and brown-black in a category, different from dark brown, light brown and vicuña. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), amplicon purification, and sequencing of MC1R and ASIP genes were performed separately. The sequences of both genes were analyzed considering the vicuña sequences as reference. In alpaca MC1R gene, a coding sequence of 954 bp with c.224_227del and nine polymorphisms was identified. Five were non-synonymous: c.82A>G, c.259G>A, c.376G>A, c.587T>C, c.901C>T (p.T28A, p.M87V, p.G126S, p.F196S, p.R301C) and four synonyms: c.126C>T, c.354C>T, c.618G>A, c.933A>G. Based on haplotype analysis, the dominant allele (E), recessive (e) and wild type (E+) in this gene are proposed. Black/brown-black alpacas have E allele in homozygosis and/or heterozygosis. In exon 4 of ASIP gene, two non-synonymous polymorphisms (c.292C>T, c.353G>A) and 57 bp deletion (c.325_381del) were identified. Based on this, three alleles with loss of function a1, a2, a3 were proposed, they are present in black/brown-black, dark brown and light alpacas, while the wild allele (A+) in homozygosis was present in 50 percent of white alpacas, 18.18 percent of light brown and 100 percent of vicuñas. The a1, a2, a3 alleles of ASIP gene in combination with E allele of MC1R gene define the colors black and brown-black. Brown alpacas have greater allelic variability in MC1R and ASIP genes with heterozygous genotypes, resulting in a great phenotypic diversity. In conclusion, the color of alpaca fleece is due to different alleles of MC1R and ASIP genes, these proposed alleles and genotypes will contribute to selection of black and brown Huacaya alpacas, improving uniform fleece production.
