Fanconi Test Results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I finally got Nemo's results back by email.

    PROBABLY CLEAR/NORMAL FOR FANCONI SYNDROME

    Yeah! That's over now.

    Based on the email, it looks like they may have renamed the "indeterminate" result with "equivocal". Here is the description of the result from the email:

    "An EQUIVOCAL test result indicates that your basenji’s DNA contained features found in both “normal” and “carrier” Basenjis. So far about 10% of the tested basenjis have given us an EQUIVOCAL test result. At present we cannot predict whether these Basenjis are carriers or normal; however, it is unlikely that they will develop Fanconi syndrome. The safest strategy would be to treat them as “carriers” and only breed them to dogs that test CLEAR/NORMAL FOR FANCONI SYNDROME."

  • That is great news for Nemo!!!! Now you have no worries about Fanconi….

  • That is wonderful news!

  • Congratulations! That is very good news.

  • Wonderful news, congratulations!

    Congrats on the results.. that is EXCELLENT.

    And yes they have been calling Indeterminate Equivocal for quite some time now. I believe indeterminate is the lay speak for equivocal, as that is what Zaire and her mom both test as.

  • Congrats!!!

    @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!!

    @etzbseder: Well, I got the results back yesterday, and they say that Medjai is "PROBABLY AFFECTED WITH FANCONI SYNDROME". So, now I get about one more year of little worry before I start strip testing and waiting for the inevitable. Hang in there. It is a tough road ahead. neither you nor your dog will understand the changes that can happen so suddenly… but know that it is not with malicious intent that they pee and pee and pee. There are so many supporting groups and people out there to help you and your B thru this. You can have a good life even with this sentence hanging over you. Best of luck. Enjoy your B as they are today... don't worry about tomorrow. I'll keep you and your Medjai in my thoughts.

    @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.
