The Colton blood group locus. A linkage analysis.

Accumulated family information was compiled in an attempt to verify the chromosomal location of the Colton blood group locus (CO). Two-point linkage analysis of CO and 46 other polymorphic loci excludes CO from 1p36 to 1q23, 3q21 to 3q26, 4q13 to 4q28, 6p24 to 6 cen, and 19p13.2 to 19 cen and from linkage groups bounded by ABO and ORM, PI and IGHG, and HP and GOT2. The dwindling odds of linkage between CO:JK are reinforced (z = -5.28 at theta = 0.20). Close linkage of CO with ACP1 and D2S5 could not be demonstrated. The proposed chromosome 2 location of CO is therefore questioned.

A serologic relationship among the NFLD, BOW, and Wu red cell antigens.

A survey of sera containing antibodies to multiple low-incidence antigens revealed a variety of patterns of reactions with NFLD+, BOW+, and Wu+ red cell samples. Although NFLD, BOW, and Wu are distinct antigenic determinants (International Society of Blood Transfusion numbers 700.37, 700.46, and 700.13, respectively), their ability to absorb and elute "crossreactive" antibodies indicates a serologic and possibly a genetic relationship among the three.

Blood groups in Newfoundlanders.

Data are presented on 30 high and low incidence antigens and on the distribution of the alleles of 14 blood group systems in a random sample of Newfoundlanders. The distribution of alleles in Newfoundland was compared to founder populations where possible and to the Canadian Caucasian population in general; no significant differences were found. Six rare alleles were observed (IN*a, NFLD, TAR, RH*x, RH*w, RH*V) in a population of 234 individuals. A high incidence of rare alleles has been reported in other isolate populations.
