Genetic Markers For Which Your Pup Tested Positive
For detailed information on all the genetic markers analyzed, including those your dog tested negative for, please refer to your Report Supplement
Please note that while this test identifies genetic predispositions to certain conditions and traits, it does not guarantee that these traits or conditions will develop.
How inbred is your dog?
The coefficient of inbreeding (COI) score for a dog is a numerical value that quantifies the degree of genetic overlap between an individual’s parents, reflecting how closely related they are. It is expressed as a relative measure with respect to population, where a higher score indicates a greater level of inbreeding. Inbreeding can increase the risk of hereditary diseases and health issues.
What is a percentile?
A percentile is a way of ranking something in comparison to a group. Your dog’s COI is ranked in the 76th percentile within our reference database. This means your dog is more inbred than 76% of the dogs in our database, and 24% of dog’s in our database are more inbred than your dog.
More information on the coefficient of inbreeding
Imagine you have two decks of cards, each representing the genes of one of your dog's parents. The Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) tells you how many cards are identical in both decks. A low COI means the decks have mostly different cards (diverse genes), while a high COI indicates many matching cards (similar genes). This similarity can increase the risk of inheriting harmful traits, like shuffling the same deck repeatedly and drawing the same cards. Responsible breeders use COI to manage genetic diversity, aiming for healthy offspring. For dogs with higher COI, extra care may be needed to ensure their well-being. Understanding COI helps both breeders and owners make informed decisions for their furry companions.
How does our test work?
Our Dog Breed + Health test examines your dog’s DNA by comparing it with a comprehensive database of dog breeds. Additionally, we identify specific genetic markers that may suggest a predisposition to various health conditions and traits. Leveraging these insights allows you to tailor your pet’s health care plan, aiming to reduce the likelihood of their genetically predisposed conditions.
