Linkage relations of the loci for Kell and phenylthiocarbamide taste sensitivity

Hum Hered. 1976;26(4):267-71. doi: 10.1159/000152813.

Abstract

Linkage analysis of Kell:PTC loci demonstration close linkage, theta = 0.045 with a lod score of 10.78. The results, which include the Sutter blood group, support the hypothesis that Sutter is a part of the Kell system.
