Yes, when writing alleles:
Fm = FM*FM = EDN3Fm
fm+ = FM*N = EDN3+

Although with chicken genetics & ASCII nomenclature, they decided to not include definition of inheritance mode, therefore annoyingly put everything in capital letters.

Going by the dwarfism locus example, you might be able to shorten FM*FM to FM*F . And then hets. to FM*F/*N
Hopefully they'll give up on this ASCII nomenclature and progress through to the structural gene & nomenclature style of mouse genetics. That was the original idea, uniform genetics nomenclature across all species. And this chicken ASCII style is completely impractical for mouse genetics (the top lab genetics research species).
