Canine gene

FGF4 retrogene CFA12

FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 is a gene catalogued in the canine genome. Here is its canonical identity across the genomics world and, where documented, its human counterpart.

Leg Length across breeds

FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 is the FGF4 retrogene on chromosome 12, associated with intervertebral disc disease risk in chondrodystrophic breeds.

The atlas reads this gene through one marker. Checked against breeds that visibly have and lack the trait, it does not tell them apart (dachshund at 18%), so this page shows no breed frequencies for it.

Research tools for this gene

Lookup and discovery are candidate-framed research surfaces. Classification renders AVCG grades we cite; Sniff does not score variants with a model of its own.

On the numbers

Per-breed allele frequencies across the atlas are surfaced for the trait loci Sniff has verified a direction-of-effect for. For FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 we show the cited identity and disease associations, and we would rather show you exactly that than a frequency we cannot yet interpret honestly. See the gene catalog for trait loci with frequency views and every disease-linked gene page.

How to cite this page

Gene identity and disease associations are grounded in OMIA (CC-BY) and the open Sniff Atlas. Full citation formats at sniff.world/cite.
