    Linkage test for Fanconi Syndrome in Basenjis

    “Dr. Johnson has requested a brief suspension of Fanconi linkage testing so that he can concentrate on developing the direct Fanconi test. His lab will process all Fanconi linkage test for requests and samples submitted on or before December 20th, 2007. After that date, Dr. Johnson and his staff will focus their efforts on the development of the direct Fanconi test. Any blood samples received after December 20th will be processed and the DNA stored for future testing.

    The Fanconi test request form on the Canine Phenome Project site will be disabled on December 19, 2007. Unless a direct test is available earlier, Fanconi linkage testing will resume in late February.”

    @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.

    No the parents were not. Most of her dogs that have been tested have been negative for fanconi so I figure my chances are good that EL D will be fine.

    @tanza: I did send you an email, but it is good to repeat here, I think. The protocol for treatment of Fanconi, information about Fanconi, information about strip testing can be found both at www.basenji.org and www.basenjihealth.org Thank you so much for the info to pass on.

    @Mia: I don't know who her grandparents are, how would I find that out (website)? I have the registration #'s for both her parents. You can order a pedigree from AKC, www.akc.org and then go to the store link. You can order it on line as an electronic file for 10.00. Most breeders give you an extended pedigree?
