Neapolitan Mastiff
Neapolitan Mastiff 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 Neapolitan Mastiff clusters consistently as Neapolitan Mastiff (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3294), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, LCORL runs lower than average (0% here vs 83%); KRT71 runs lower than average (21% here vs 91%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.329, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 12 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Cane Corso, Saint Bernard, Mastiff, Newfoundland, and Great Dane.
