Can non basenjis access the fanconi test?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • silly question, but would a non basenji be able to be tested? I know basenji crosses can be dna tested but what about other breeds?
    I ask this because in another breed I have there are a number of siblings and a dam who have all passed away with various kidney disorders. Different vets so no uniformity of diagnosis.

    We are now strip testing the remaining siblings but would be interested if we could rule out fanconi.
    thanks

  • I'm pretty sure you could if you really wanted to. If you go to the CPP website, there should be contact information for the people at the University that does the tests. I have had to contact them before and they got back to me very soon if I missed them.

  • Because the current test is a marker test and not a direct gene test, I don't know how useful the test would be. This is a question you would have to ask directly to the researchers.

    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....

    @DiegosMom: I'm so happy the cheek swab test is available.. I moved and changed vets and haven't gotten Meeka to the vet to draw the blood.. I just ordered my test kit though, so much easier then collecting and shipping blood! I think BRAT and other rescue orgs need to make sure all adopters know how easy it is to test for this now, and should really encourage adopters to do it.. Amen to that….. BRAT does need to (IMO) do the test... or at the very least explain about the test and how to get it done....

    @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.
