Miniature Pinscher

Miniature Pinscher genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 28 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.32. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Miniature Pinscher

In the atlas, the Miniature Pinscher clusters consistently as Miniature Pinscher (100% of the 28 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3205), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, SMAD2 runs lower than average (14% here vs 74%); HMGA2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.

Mean heterozygosity is 0.321, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.27), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 28 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Papillon, Beagle, Havanese, Dachshund, and Toy Poodle.
