Department of Pediatrics, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

Peak lods (zeta) of 3.48 at an estimated recombination fraction (theta) of 0.28 derived from 63 male and 90 female meioses indicate linkage between the KEL and YT blood group loci. Consideration is given to two families; a realistic interpretation of the data increases zeta to 4.24 at theta = 0.26.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007626 Kell Blood-Group System Multiple erythrocytic antigens that comprise at least three pairs of alternates and amorphs, determined by one complex gene or possibly several genes at closely linked loci. The system is important in transfusion reactions. Its expression involves the X-chromosome. Blood-Group System, Kell,Kell Blood Group System,System, Kell Blood-Group
D008040 Genetic Linkage The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME. Genetic Linkage Analysis,Linkage, Genetic,Analyses, Genetic Linkage,Analysis, Genetic Linkage,Genetic Linkage Analyses,Linkage Analyses, Genetic,Linkage Analysis, Genetic
D008126 Lod Score The total relative probability, expressed on a logarithmic scale, that a linkage relationship exists among selected loci. Lod is an acronym for "logarithmic odds." Lod Scores,Score, Lod,Scores, Lod
