Genetic linkage between the albino (c) and hemoglobin beta-chain (Hb beta) genes in rabbits was demonstrated by means of segregation data from one full-sib family. The map distance was estimated at 9 +/- 6 cM, which is similar to the 8 cM previously estimated between the same pair of loci in both mice and rats. The interspecies conservation of the chromosome segment comprising c and Hb beta thus extends outside the rodent family. Indications that it also may be conserved in man are discussed.
通过一个全同胞家系的分离数据，证明了兔子中白化病（c）基因与血红蛋白β链（Hbβ）基因之间的遗传连锁。估计图距为9±6厘摩，这与之前在小鼠和大鼠中同一对基因座之间估计的8厘摩相似。因此，包含c和Hbβ的染色体片段在种间的保守性延伸到了啮齿动物家族之外。文中还讨论了其在人类中也可能保守的迹象。
