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.
