title: Assignment of the YT blood group locus to chromosome 7q.
abstract: The antithetical antigens YT1 and YT2 constitute the YT blood group system (International Society of Blood Transfusion system number 11). Despite being serologically well defined, the YT blood group locus (YT) has not secured a chromosomal location. In our report, peak lods of 3.61 at theta = 0.00 for YT:COL1A2 and of 3.31 at theta = 0.00 for YT:D7S13 allow us to assign YT to the long arm of chromosome 7.
