Abstract
The locus for 21-hydroxylase (CA21HB) has been mapped to the interval between the HLA-B and HLA-DR loci on chromosome 6. Several methods of estimating genetic distance were used to determine whether CA21HB is closer to HLA-B or HLA-DR based on data collected on 157 families ascertained through a proband with the classical form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CA12Hd). The results were inconclusive but serve to highlight the limitations of present methods of estimating genetic distance when recombination frequencies are of the order of .005.Entities:
