Fanconi Testing

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Both Blaze's sire and dam tested Clear for Fanconi.

    Is there any reason then that I should then test Blaze? I certainly have no problem with ordering the test and taking the cheek swab, but just wondered if it was necessary.

    Thanks.

    First of all for reseach purposes you should, the more data we have the more that can be learned.

    Until the direct gene is found, it is recommended that you test because there is no accepted "clear by parentage".

  • Thanks, Pat. That was what I was wondering…if, for research purposes, and a larger database, it might not be a good idea.

    I'll order the test once we're back in Spokane.

  • The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....

    @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?

    @dmcarty: re: puppy mills and testing only one parent - I know for a FACT that at one place the sire of several years of litters was not the sire - it was a male who had good papers so his name was listed even though he was DEAD. One of the PM's males was the sire of several litters attributed to this OTHER dog. (I happen to know the person who owned the substitute sire) So it is unfortunate but the testing will only be as ethical as those who provide information to the test. Geez I hate to even say that but I am afraid that it's true. No doubt about that… and another reason to only look at AKC who has a DNA parentage program for high volume breeders...
