Direct Fanconi Test:

Effective Tuesday, November 1, 2011, the Basenji Health Endowment will offer a $15.00 subsidy for all direct Fanconi tests on Basenjis previously tested with the marker link test (re-tests). This discounted price of $50.00 for re-tests, paid by the Basenji Health Endowment will be available for all re-tests through December 31, 2013. At the time this program begins, the OFA website will provide instructions on how to purchase the re-test as well as how you'll be notified if sufficient DNA is on file or if another FTA card is needed.

Between now and October 31, 2011, if you wish to have a dog re-tested, you may do so, but will voluntarily opt out of the $15.00 subsidy for that dog's re-test with the new direct Fanconi test. There will be no retroactive reimbursement. If you choose to re-test now, visit the OFA website at www.offa.org and purchase the test for $65.00 and an FTA card will be mailed to you and the procedure is the same as if this was the first time you've tested this dog for Fanconi.
