title: Cytogenetic evidence for the localisation of the gene for congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
abstract: In the course of a study of the close linkage between the gene locus for the autosomal recessive disease, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a cytogenetic survey was undertaken. In one family, where a crossover might have occurred between some loci in the MHC complex and the locus for the 21-hydroxylase gene, there was also a crossover between the MHC locus and the centromere of chromosome 6.
