Cystinuria Type I-A (SLC3A1 p.I192V)
Cystinuria Type I-A (SLC3A1 p.I192V). Autosomal recessive. Observed in 50 of 266 breeds tested in the Sniff Atlas, with measured carrier frequencies drawn from 242,665 dogs (Donner 2023). Per-dog phenotype outcome depends on penetrance, modifiers, and environment; the carrier frequencies below describe variant prevalence, not disease incidence.

Top 25 well-sampled breeds (n ≥ 50)
Maximum carrier frequency per breed across variants in the Donner 2023 cohort, with Wilson 95% confidence intervals. The list below is split into well-sampled breeds (n ≥ 50 tested) and small-sample breeds (n < 50, where the Wilson CI typically spans more than 20 percentage points and frequencies should not be compared directly to the well-sampled entries). Frequencies are population-level, not per-litter or per-line.
| Breed | Carrier frequency | n tested |
|---|---|---|
| Bulldog Standard | 39.4% | 4,816 |
| French Bulldog | 23.6% | 13,114 |
| Boerboel | 19.1% | 165 |
| Kooikerhondje | 16.5% | 200 |
| Akita | 15.2% | 992 |
| Mastiff | 14.1% | 767 |
| Dogue De Bordeaux | 7.0% | 199 |
| Newfoundland | 6.7% | 463 |
| Chow Chow | 6.5% | 643 |
| Rhodesian Ridgeback | 5.9% | 323 |
| American Staffordshire Terrier | 3.6% | 42,793 |
| Presa Canario | 3.1% | 64 |
| Boston Terrier | 3.0% | 3,702 |
| Catahoula Leopard Dog | 2.3% | 154 |
| Bullmastiff | 2.0% | 209 |
| Spanish Water Dog | 2.0% | 96 |
| Bulldog American | 2.0% | 540 |
| Australian Cattle Dog | 2.0% | 982 |
| Chinese Shar Pei | 2.0% | 400 |
| Maltese | 2.0% | 2,413 |
| Neapolitan Mastiff | 2.0% | 90 |
| Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier | 2.0% | 607 |
| Boxer | 2.0% | 4,557 |
| Miniature Pinscher | 2.0% | 658 |
| Chihuahua | 2.0% | 4,273 |
Top 25 of 42 well-sampled breeds with at least one observed carrier shown.
▸ Also observed in 8 small-sample breeds (n < 50)
Frequencies in this section are statistical estimates with wide Wilson 95% confidence intervals (typically >20 percentage points). Treat these as "carriers observed but the true population frequency is not yet measurable" rather than as comparable to the well-sampled entries above.
| Breed | Estimate | n tested |
|---|---|---|
| Shikoku Ken | 75.0% | 6 |
| Dingo | 62.5% | 12 |
| Eurasier | 36.8% | 19 |
| Lakeland Terrier | 31.3% | 8 |
| Norwegian Buhund | 25.0% | 2 |
| Coyote | 11.1% | 9 |
| Fox Terrier Toy | 5.2% | 48 |
| Tibetan Mastiff | 3.1% | 32 |
216 additional breeds in the Donner 2023 cohort were tested but showed no carriers.
Scope
This record carries the breed-level carrier frequencies from the Donner 2023 cohort. Penetrance data (the fraction of at-risk dogs that develop the phenotype) is not yet quantified for this disease in the Sniff Atlas v1.0.1. The OMIA entry is the authoritative reference for the clinical phenotype, inheritance pattern, and gene assignment.
Predicted disease relevance at the per-dog level is UNPROVEN. Carrier frequency is measured; phenotype outcome depends on penetrance, environment, and modifier loci. Consult a veterinarian for clinical interpretation.
