Lukuru retesting results - Fanconi Syndrome

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Using the temporary linked marker test on the 10 Lukuru's resulted as :

    Lukuru na Liboso Mopaya "Probably Clear"
    Lukuru Amisi / Misi "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Lema / Lema "Probably Clear"
    Lukuru MPale / MPale "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Cassiopeia "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Libra "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Orion "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Pegasus "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Perseus "Indeterminate"
    Lukuru Constellation Ursa "Indeterminate"

    Dr. Johnson was very confident all along that we would have confirmation that all of the Lukuru's were clear, but we always respected the BCOA recommendation to treat the Indeterminate reading as a "Carrier."

    Most recently, the four native imported foundation stock were retested on new DNA swabs for the direct gene. The six F1 full African littermates were retested from stored DNA.

    The results of the direct gene test on the Lukuru's has found :

    Lukuru na Liboso Mopaya Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Amisi / Misi Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Lema / Lema Clear / Normal
    Lukuru MPale / MPale Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Cassiopeia for Antefaa Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Libra Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Orion Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Pegasus Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Perseus Clear / Normal
    Lukuru Constellation Ursa Clear / Normal

    @LiveWWSD: Yea, she has quite a bit of African in her Dam's bloodline. Her mother and most of her siblings all test indetermint. I was totally prepaired for the indetermint result, as that seems to be the standard test result for alot of her breeders bloodline. To date none of the Avongara Dogs have had Fanconi and only when crossed with American (include really worldwide Basenjis) has Fanconi cropped up. However there has been ISPID, hips, eye problems with the Avongara imports. Remember that in Africa, there is nature selective breeding for the most part and also remember that you need the gene from both side for Fanconi as it is recessive. If nature selection, could be that if affected they would have died before reproducing.

    @YodelDogs: Was this litter bred before or after the DNA test was made available? Before. Pups from that litter are now adult dogs.
