Genetic mapping of the locus controlling structural variations of murine C3 in the chromosome 17.

Backcross progeny, (NC X TF/GnLe)F1 X TF/GnLe, was tested for C3 allotype controlled by C3-1 and the expression of mutant gene tf, repeated loss and regrowth of hair. The recombination frequency between these two loci both located in chromosome 17 of the mouse was 24%. Taken together with our previous linkage data, C3-1 is now localized to a position 11 cm more distal than H-2 on chromosome 17.
