Relative positions of chromosome 1 loci Fy, PGM1, Sc, UMPK, Rh, PGD and ENO1 in man.

Ongoing linkage studies of red cell antigens and enzymes in many families along with concentration on a large Mennonite kindred segregating for Sc have resulted in lods, recombinant: nonrecombinant counts and multi-point information which support an order with approximate recombination fractions as measured in the male as follows: Fy--.25--PGM1--.20--Sc--less than .05--UMPK--.15--Rh--.20--PGD, with ENO1 close to PGD. The insertion of Sc and UMPK between PGM1 and Rh allows the recognition of double crossing-over between the latter pair; indications are that this is not a rare event in the female. In the male no evidence of double crossing-over was found in the similar distances PGM1--Rh and Sc--PGD in 13 and 19 opportunities respectively.
