Linkage analysis of loci controlling blood groups and the rectovaginal constriction syndrome in Jersey cattle

Anim Genet. 1986;17(3):277-82. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2052.1986.tb03200.x.

Abstract

The possibility of linkage between the recessive gene controlling the rectovaginal constriction (RVC) syndrome in Jersey cattle and 13 loci controlling blood groups and polymorphic proteins was studied. No evidence of close to moderate linkage was found between the RVC locus and any of the systems A, B, C, F, L, S, Z, R', Hb, Tf, Am-1 and Ca. No definite conclusion was possible with the M system.
