Linkage between the loci for transferrin and ceruloplasmin in pigs.
Evidence for genetic linkage between the loci for transferrin (Tf) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) in pigs was presented. The results were based on a study of a single sire family comprising 35 informative offspring. No recombinants were observed. The recombination frequency was estimated to be in the range of 0 to 8%. This indicated that the recombination frequency between Tf and Cp loci in pigs may be much lower than that reported previously between these two loci in cattle and in human.
