| 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. |
