Another elliptocytosis locus on chromosome 1?
Analysis of pedigrees given in the literature suggests that a second elliptocytosis locus (not linked to Rh) may be linked to Duffy (Z = 1.97 at theta = 0.0), and therefore on chromosome 1. Significant heterogeneity is found between the El1 and El2 total lod scores with Fy.
