Finnish Lapphund
Finnish Lapphund genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 48 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.34. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Finnish Lapphund clusters consistently as Finnish Lapphund (100% of the 48 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.339), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (5% here vs 56%); SMOC2 runs lower than average (44% here vs 75%).
Ranks 81 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.339, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.90), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Elkhound, village dog Peru Loreto, village dog Mexico Morelia, Keeshond, and village dog Dominican Republic.
