Mastiff
Mastiff genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 32 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.29. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Mastiff clusters consistently as Mastiff (100% of the 32 dogs here). At the trait loci, MC1R runs lower than average (3% here vs 62%); LCORL runs lower than average (38% here vs 83%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Cane Corso, Neapolitan Mastiff, Boston Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and French Bulldog.
Median lifespan is 9.0 years, about 1.9 years shorter than a typical dog of 76.25 kg, one of the larger gaps in the atlas.
