A type of blindness due to lack of rods and cones in the retina was found to be controlled by a single autosomal recessive gene, rc. The mutation was first identified in the second generation descendants of a male carrying an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) induced chromosome translocation involving one arm of the Z sex chromosome and the long (q) arm of chromosome 3. A linkage test between the locus causing the blindness and the translocation break-point on chromosome 3 was not significant. There is no proof that the mutation was EMS induced.
一种由于视网膜中视杆细胞和视锥细胞缺乏而导致的失明类型，被发现由一个常染色体隐性基因rc控制。该突变最初是在一名携带经甲磺酸乙酯（EMS）诱导产生的涉及Z性染色体一条臂和3号染色体长臂（q）的染色体易位的雄性个体的第二代后代中鉴定出来的。导致失明的基因座与3号染色体上的易位断点之间的连锁试验结果不显著。没有证据表明该突变是由EMS诱导产生的。
