    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.”

    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.

    @etzbseder: 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.

    Did you enter him on the CPP site? If the blood was received it will be marked there. They do not send any notice that it was received. But interesting that the ck was not cashed yet… could be that it has not been recorded yet since you did send on a Thursday to arrive on Friday... and Monday was a holiday

    @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...
