Fanconi Linkage Test Results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Well I got Zaire's marker test results back today.
    I can't say I am thrilled to have paid for the results, but I kind of had a feeling.
    She came back Indetermint (Just like mom). Her sire tests as probably clear, so not a big concern. It's strange that her Dam's bloodline keeps turning up Indetermint. But I am glad to have it done with. And at least with testing now I know that her Sires side is clear. :)

  • Glad to hear that the sire was clear at least.

    Maybe there's a strong African presence in the bloodline that has trouble with the testing.

    What would that have to do with anything?:confused:

  • I've seen things online that the Africans have had no signs of PRA, IPSID, or Fanconi, but there must be something out there that changes that, because they ALL have come from Africa over the last 120 years, and if they didn't have a genetic disease when they left africa, to develop it later means the tests we have don't work right on the African Bs. Doesn't it?

    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.

    And with Indetermint you never have to worry about Fanconi… and if you were going to breed, you would consider her a Carrier until we have a direct test.

    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.

    @tuts - Hello tuts, note that the test recommend by OFA comes from the Basenji Club of America as recommended tests and for OFA this will determine if done that Basenji will get a CHIC rating. Note however this does not mean that they were clear, just means that they were tested. Some are test that need to be done yearly. Breed parent clubs for all breeds determine what tests need to be done

    That is a huge relief about the cheek swab…She absolutely HATED having her blood drawn and has been mistrustful of the vet and vet techs ever since. I didn't not realize that there were many errors in the original test. I stopped frequenting this forum shortly after I had her test done and haven't really heard anything from the basenji world until I got the e-mail. I will definitely get this re-test done as soon as possible and will pick up some strips tomorrow so I can start testing her urine. Thankfully she has not been showing any signs of poor health and has always done well on checkups.

    @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!!
