Chapter 5, Problem 18P

The Rh blood group in humans is determined by a geneon chromosome 1 . A dominant allele produces Rh+ bloodtype, and a recessive allele generates Rh- . Elliptocytosis isan autosomal dominant disorder that produces abnormallyshaped red blood cells that have a short life span resultingin hereditary anemia. A large family with elliptocytosis istested for genetic linkage of Rh blood group and the disease. The lod score data below are obtained for the family.

Chapter 5, Problem 18P, The Rh blood group in humans is determined by a geneon chromosome 1. A dominant allele produces Rh+

a. From these data, can you conclude that Rh and elliptocytosisloci are genetically linked in this family? Why or why not?

b. What is Z max for this family?

c. Over what range of w do lod scores indicate significantevidence in favor of genetic linkage?
