_LP_-associated characteristics.
In addition to coat color spotting patterns LP also causes four other associated pigmentation characteristics, readily visible white sclera (as shown in A) striped hooves, which are bands of pigment on the hoof alternating with unpigmented bands (as shown in B), mottling, which is pink skin with spots of pigment that occurs around the anus, genitalia (C), muzzle (D), and eyes (E), and varnish roaning, the progressive loss of pigment throughout the coat while retaining pigment on boney surfaces; as shown here on the face, hips, and lower legs (E).
