"The Hypomelanistic gene is variable in its self."

And may actually have more than one gene involved considering the range of color and pattern. I have produced my share of hypos, yet to date I have not produced a normal one (non-hypo sibling within a hypo litter) that had the pattern anomolies that have popped up in hypos in every litter. This suggests that the genes controlling pattern and hypomelanism are strongly linked, unless they are controlled by the same gene which seems unlikely.
