Fanconi DNA Linkage Test
Through the efforts of Dr. Gary Johnson and the generous
contributions of many the Basenji Community has taken a giant
step forward in the fight against Fanconi.

We now have a test to guide Responsible Breeders in selecting
acceptable matings. This will insure future generations do not
suffer from this disease. Remember All Reputable Breeders will
be able to show you test results. If the breeder you are talking to
can't... Walk away!
If You Own a Basenji and Would like to
have it tested the first step is to enroll in
the
Canine Phenome Project.
You will find directions for doing so by
clicking the above link.
All Results are public and will be
posted on the
OFA Web site.
You can find test results on any
Basenji that has been tested.
Though there is no cure for Fanconi
many Basenjis do well on a
Management Protocal developed by Dr.
Gonto.
