The traditional notation is aac[b]c[b]Pp but the recent scientific paper
by the Gerbil Genetics Group that described this mutation gave the
"burmese" gene the symbol c[chm] because the effect of the mutation is
the same as that of chinchilla medium in rabbits.
This means that the correct scientific genotype is aac[chm]c[chm]Pp.
All this is explained ion my recently updated genetics page:
