CASK
CASK gene markerParticipates in synaptic development and signalling — a cognition-related candidate gene studied in pigeons.
A candidate locus related to nervous-system function; performance-association evidence is preliminary.
A pigeon study (Dybus 2023, Animals) reported CASK polymorphism in pigeons, with performance association as secondary content. Preliminary evidence — interpret cautiously.
A gene test returns probabilistic information about a genetic tendency, not a performance forecast. A pigeon's actual results are shaped by many factors acting together — genetics, training, nutrition, health and environment. The effect of any single locus is limited, so read it alongside other performance loci, race records and pedigree.
