Linkage of the steroid sulfatase gene to the sex-reversed mutation in the mouse.
Dosage studies and the inheritance pattern of the gene for steroid sulfatase (Sts) in the mouse have previously provided indirect evidence for a functional Y-linked allele which recombines obligatorily with its X-linked allele in male meiosis. In this study, we have investigated the linkage relationship of Sts and the sex-reversed mutation (Sxr), a gene which is known to reside in the pairing region of the Y chromosome. The results clearly demonstrate that Sxr and Sts are linked in a region of obligatory recombination and Sts maps proximal to Sxr with most recombinants occurring proximal to the two genes.
