Autosomal Recessive Gene Graph

 

                                

 

 

Text Box: Every dog is a product of two sets of genes. One set is inherited from the father. One set is inherited from the mother.

Text Box:   In order for a dog to be affected by an autosomal recessive disease, both of it’s parents must be carriers of the gene.   If TWO parents are non-affected 100% of their pups will be non-affected. If TWO parents are affected 100% of their pups will be affected. If only ONE parent is a carrier, 50% of the offspring will inherit the gene and also be carriers, but they will not become affected. If TWO carrier dogs are mated, all of their pups will be carriers or affected. If ONE affected dog is mated to a non-carrier, 100% of the pups will be carriers. If TWO affected dogs are mated, 100% of the pups will be affected. When a carrier dog is mated to a non-carrier, 50% of the pups will be carriers.
