German Shorthaired Pointer
German Shorthaired Pointer genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 12 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.33. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the German Shorthaired Pointer clusters consistently as German Shorthaired Pointer (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.33), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs higher than the atlas average (92% here vs 56%); MC1R runs higher than the atlas average (96% here vs 62%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.330, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 12 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Vizsla, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Gordon Setter, Miniature Dachshund, and English Springer Spaniel.
