Italian Greyhound
Italian Greyhound genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 16 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.34. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Italian Greyhound clusters consistently as Italian Greyhound (100% of the 16 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3419), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 56%); SMAD2 runs lower than average (22% here vs 74%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.342, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 16 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Whippet, Borzoi, Briard, Old English Sheepdog, and mixed breed.
