G. Erhardt et H. Simianer, LINKAGE BETWEEN THE LOCI FOR SERUM-ALBUMIN AND VITAMIN-D-BINDING PROTEIN (GC) IN SHEEP, Animal genetics, 24(4), 1993, pp. 301-303
Evidence for close genetic linkage between the loci for serum albumin
(ALB) and vitamin D binding protein (GC) in sheep is presented. No rec
ombinants were found in 28 informative offspring of a single ram famil
y. The recombination frequency between the two loci was estimated to b
e in the range of 0 to 10%. No sign of linkage was observed between th
e ALB-GC complex and transferrin.
