Fanconi DNA Testing - Update - Cheek Swabs
-
Great news!!!!!!
We have just received information that Cheek Swabs will be available for DNA Fanconi Testing. The Cheek Swab Kits will be available (soon) at www.offa.org for $5.00 each (Fanconi test will still cost 60.00 and be sent to U of Mo). Prior this cheek swab was only available for some re-testing that was being done.
So NOW it is even going to be easier for Fanconi testingā¦ there is NO excuse that every single Basenji owner doesn't get their Basenjis tested. And there will certainly be NO excuse that a breeder doesn't have a sire/dam tested BEFORE breeding.
Please note however that blood samples are still being requested, because the Cheek Swab doesn't give enough DNA for future genetic testing.
I am sure that the information at www.basenjihealth.org will be updated soon about the Cheek Swab Test, but wanted to give everyone here a heads up.
