Fanconi Test

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I know that there is not way of knowing for certain from the puppy how the parents fair in terms of being a carrier or cleared, but just because I'm curious:

    Does anyone know what the probability is of the parents to be clear if the puppy is clear? How does it change if there are more than one puppy tested as being clear?

    here is a link to a chart that was done by Rugosa Basenjis, should give you some idea to the questions you posed.

  • Thanks, I've seen that before, but forgot about it.

    After looking at that, it shows that my answer would be:
    Clear pups ONLY means that neither parent is affected, and that does not change with multiple clear pups. The only thing that shows any determination of the parents is a test of the parent themselves (or if their grandparents are clear).

    correct. The more clear pups (with no affecteds or carriers) you had from the breeding of the same two animals, the more LIKELY it is that the parents are clear…but it certainly would not be a for sure.

    @Terry: I heard a rumor, wondered if anyone knows if it's true. The rumor was that an affected dog has been identified with 2 clear parents. Pat, I know you're usually up on this… Terry That seems to be the case, Lisa will most likely also chime in. They are now retest that dog along with his parents. As we all know there is always human error and the samples may have been mismarked. I have no doubt in the test (and I know that others will mostly likely use this as a way to discount the test), but I will stand on the over 1100 samples that have already been done and they all seem to be as they should. IMO and I have a sample that was most likely taken at the same time, that there was either a problem when the sample was sent in or there was a problem when the DNA was extracted. At the same time and the sample taken at the same time, there is another dog that is showing as Carrier from two clears… again that is being retested also...
