title: NADH diaphorase as a genetic marker for sheep red cells.
abstract: Three NADH diaphorase phenotypes were observed in the red cells of sheep. Breeding data indicated that this polymorphism was under the control of two autosomal codominant alleles, designated DiaF and DiaS. Phenotype Dia F had significantly lower NADH diaphorase activity than phenotype Dia S. The frequency of DiaF and DiaS was determined in 9 different breeds.
