title: Colton blood groups in Canadian Caucasians: frequencies, inheritance and linkage analysis.
abstract: In a series of 726 random Caucasian adults tested with anti-Coa and anti-Cob allele frequencies were Coa 0.9470, Cob 0.0530. The distribution of Colton phenotypes in 205 children of 57 selected families was in accordance with expectation. A linkage analysis of Co and 26 other loci indicates that Co is not closely linked to AcP1, ABO, AK1, Ch, Do, GLO, Gm, GPT, HLA, Hp, K, Lu, MN, PGM1 or Rh and does not lie between PGD and PGM1 on chromosome 1.
