Japanese Chin
Japanese Chin genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 8 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.25. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Japanese Chin clusters consistently as Japanese Chin (100% of the 8 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (0% here vs 77%); SMAD2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 74%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Only 8 dogs of this breed in the atlas, every individual contributes outsized weight to the breed's computed profile.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Lhasa Apso, Finnish Spitz, American Eskimo Dog, Kuvasz, and Curly Coated Retriever.
