Cane Corso
Cane Corso genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 18 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.36. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Cane Corso clusters consistently as Cane Corso (100% of the 18 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3567), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, LCORL runs lower than average (25% here vs 83%); KRT71 runs lower than average (56% here vs 91%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.357, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 18 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Neapolitan Mastiff, Mastiff, Saint Bernard, Newfoundland, and Great Dane.
