title: Linkage between the loci for serum albumin and vitamin D binding protein (GC) in sheep.
abstract: Evidence for close genetic linkage between the loci for serum albumin (ALB) and vitamin D binding protein (GC) in sheep is presented. No recombinants were found in 28 informative offspring of a single ram family. The recombination frequency between the two loci was estimated to be in the range of 0 to 10%. No sign of linkage was observed between the ALB-GC complex and transferrin.
