Fanconi DNA Test

Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    Per Jon Curby who is closest to Dr Johnson at U of Mo, he has not heard if they have found the direct test… so I would image that is why they are still showing the linkage test to be used.....
    While the direct test would be great.... thank goodness we have the linkage test... and I would encourage anyone that is concerned by the "unknown" of their Basenjis submit samples and have the DNA test done.

    how much does it cost and what is the website to get more info? I know Nike is most likely clean since both of his parents were, but MIa is still a so-so, her parents enevr produced an off spring with Fanconi, but he's only had 1 tested.

    I believe it's $60/dog.

    That is correct, plus the cost of the blood draw and sending the blood. It cost me 39 for the two.

    Side question: Does anyone know when there will be updates to the site? it still doesn't say that they have the blood, but i have called and have been told that they have it.

    They only update the site once or twice a month… so if they are telling you it is there, it should be fine. I would however check and make sure the it is recorded before you submit the paperwork and money for the test... but that is just me.

    I know that you most likely told us, but who are Nike's sire and dam?

    Nike's are the same as Dallas'. They were the litter by Midge Greenlee. The sire was Serengeti Hartland C Basi & the Dam was Joy-us Serengeti Camellia :) They reunited today actually!

    And I remembered that they were from Midge, because that is the breeder of my OJ's Sire… all those many years ago, I just couldn't remember the name of Nike and Dallas sire and dam....

    yes Mia was not impressed, you could tell she was thinkin "Ok you just brought this random puppy in my home last month don't tell me we're keeping this one too!" lol…
    I do want to get Mia tested, her sire and dam was King Clyde Eastwind and Saadie East Bank. I could not find them on the site to see their results, but Tommy (the breeder from port Orange, FL) said he had never had a puppy with Fanconi.

    Ha, ha!! Of course he hasn't!! Puppies don't get Fanconi!! I bet he hasn't had any puppies die of old age either :rolleyes:

    If you can't find them on the OFA site then they have not been DNA Tested… so a good idea to have her done. They are also not in Sally Wallis's pedigree database which says that they are most likely not AKC registered? Is Mia AKC registered?...

    yes Mia is AKC and so are her parents

    Bottom line, if they are not showing up in the OFA data base, then they have not been DNA test. Have you checked to see if Mia's grandparents are in the OFA database?

    I don't know who her grandparents are, how would I find that out (website)? I have the registration #'s for both her parents.

    I sent you a PM but if a dog is AKC registered you can always order a pedigree from the AKC online store.

    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?

    @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.

    @Terry: I heard a rumor, wondered if anyone knows if it's true. The rumor was that an affected dog has been identified with 2 clear parents. Pat, I know you're usually up on this… Terry That seems to be the case, Lisa will most likely also chime in. They are now retest that dog along with his parents. As we all know there is always human error and the samples may have been mismarked. I have no doubt in the test (and I know that others will mostly likely use this as a way to discount the test), but I will stand on the over 1100 samples that have already been done and they all seem to be as they should. IMO and I have a sample that was most likely taken at the same time, that there was either a problem when the sample was sent in or there was a problem when the DNA was extracted. At the same time and the sample taken at the same time, there is another dog that is showing as Carrier from two clears… again that is being retested also...

    @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...
