Maternal Haplotype: A361/409/611
Maternal Haplogroup: A1b
🇬🇧 The maternal haplotype A361/409/611 belongs to Haplogroup A1b, an ancient maternal lineage also found in German Shepherd Dogs, Poodles and Shiloh Shepherds.
🇩🇪 Der mütterliche Haplotyp A361/409/611 gehört zur Haplogruppe A1b, einer alten mütterlichen Abstammungslinie, die unter anderem bei Deutschen Schäferhunden, Pudeln und Shiloh Shepherds vorkommt.
Paternal Haplotype: B1.0
Paternal Haplogroup: B1
🇬🇧 The paternal haplotype B1.0 belongs to Haplogroup B1, a genetically distinct paternal lineage associated particularly with Arctic dog breeds.
🇩🇪 Der väterliche Haplotyp B1.0 gehört zur Haplogruppe B1, einer genetisch eigenständigen väterlichen Abstammungslinie, die insbesondere mit arktischen Hunderassen in Verbindung gebracht wird.

🇩🇪 Was bedeuten diese COI-Werte?
IMMUNE SYSTEM GENETIC DIVERSITY (MHC CLASS II)
DLA-DRB1: High Diversity ✅
DLA-DQA1 & DQB1: High Diversity ✅
What Do These Results Mean?
Amarok shows high genetic diversity in both tested regions of his immune-related genes. This is a particularly encouraging result regarding his genetic diversity.
The DLA genes (Dog Leukocyte Antigen) belong to the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and play a central role in a dog’s immune system.
They help the body recognize pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and initiate an appropriate immune response.
High Diversity means that Amarok has inherited different genetic variants (alleles) from his parents in these gene regions. This gives him a diverse genetic makeup in important areas of his immune system.
What Are the Benefits of High Genetic Diversity?
1. 🛡️ Diverse Immune Response
Different DLA gene variants enable the immune system to recognize different components of pathogens.
High diversity in these genes can contribute to the immune system’s ability to recognize and respond to a broader range of pathogens.
2. ❤️ Importance for Immune Health
Scientific studies have shown that certain DLA gene variants may be associated with autoimmune diseases, such as Addison’s disease.
High genetic diversity is generally desirable because it reflects a broader genetic foundation within the immune system.
However, high DLA diversity does not guarantee protection against autoimmune or other immune-related diseases.
3. 🐺 Valuable for Dog Breeding
Genetic diversity is an important aspect of responsible and sustainable dog breeding.
Maintaining a broad genetic foundation helps preserve genetic diversity within a breeding population over the long term.
Amarok’s high DLA diversity is therefore an encouraging part of his genetic profile and provides valuable information when selecting suitable breeding partners.
Summary
With a genetic Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) of just 4% and high genetic diversity in both tested MHC Class II regions, Amarok demonstrates encouraging results regarding his genetic diversity.
While the COI provides insight into the degree of genetic relatedness among his ancestors, the DLA results reveal the diversity of specific genes that play an important role in the immune system.
Together, these results complement each other and provide valuable information for our breeding program at Nordic Companion Dog of Goldenstone. 🐺❤️
