The close linkage between the PstI-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) disclosed by the L2.7 genomic DNA probe and the Kidd blood group locus is described. The maximum lod score is +8.53 at recombination fraction theta = 0.03. The upper probability limit of the recombination fraction is theta 1 = 0.11. The L2.7 probe, previously assigned provisionally to chromosome 17, is by the present study assigned to chromosome 18. This also assigns the Kidd blood group locus (JK) to chromosome 18. Accepting previous deletion mapping, the shortest regions of overlap (SRO) for JK is 18q11-12, whereas one of our hybrids assigns L2.7 to 18p11-pter, suggesting centromeric localisation of the linkage group. JK has been assigned previously to chromosome 2 because of its provisional linkage to IGK which in turn has been mapped to 2p12. Our own JK-IGK linkage data do in fact support the previous positive lod scores at high recombination fractions (total lods +4.12 at theta1 = 0.30). No obvious explanation for the conflicting gene mapping data is found.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D001789 Blood Group Antigens Sets of cell surface antigens located on BLOOD CELLS. They are usually membrane GLYCOPROTEINS or GLYCOLIPIDS that are antigenically distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
