Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hurray! I know that this is what the basenji community has been waiting for!

    Regarding incorrect results (with the linkage test), how close will the DNA test be regarding 100% accuracy?

    Hurray! I know that this is what the basenji community has been waiting for!

    Regarding incorrect results (with the linkage test), how close will the DNA test be regarding 100% accuracy?

    Until Dr Johnson's talk at the Nationals and that question is asked, don't think we will know that answer. And remember also, that some of the errors were "human" errors, which will always be present.

    Since it is the direct gene that was found for Fanconi, I would think that without human error should be pretty close to 100%. When they found the gene for HA all those years ago it was and this is a recessive gene also (the gene for Fanconi)

  • Shelley, Bungwa is one of my males from my last litter, he is named after Bungwa of Blean. His full name is Antefaa Bungwa Forest Glory. I've not been in a hurry to get my males tested as I don't intend to breed again. However I get stud enquiries so couldn't consider accepting until he is tested and this applies to my 3 males. You may meet him at the NBS sometime but as you may know I'm not ultra keen on showing.

    Does any one know whether Gary Johnston has published the details of the direct test as I want to forward the link to Jeff Sampson of the UK Kennel Club? They'll obviosly require published information.

    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....

    @lukris: That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved. Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!

    @tanza: If you go to www.basenji.org, you can get information about Fanconi from Dr. Gonto that developed the protocol. Best to print it off and take it with you tomorrow… and good luck.... I believe you should print the information about Dr. Gonto's protocal and give the information to your vet. Your vet can follow Dr. Gonto's treatment program, i.e. lab tests to run; follow-up lab suggestions; therapeutic goals; management dosing guidelines, etc. Your vet should read all the information. There is also also correspondence info: address, email and phone/fax numbers to reach Dr. Gonto. So sorry for you and your baby. Good luck with your visit tomorrow. I would go in armed with this information.
