Saint Bernard
Saint Bernard genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 37 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.31. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Saint Bernard clusters consistently as Saint Bernard (100% of the 37 dogs here). At the trait loci, SMOC2 runs lower than average (12% here vs 75%); STC2 runs lower than average (26% here vs 74%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Leonberger, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog, Newfoundland, and Neapolitan Mastiff.
Median lifespan is 9.3 years, about 1.7 years shorter than a typical dog of 66.0 kg, one of the larger gaps in the atlas.
