Rh, elliptocytosis, PGM1, and 6PGD are all on the same chromosome. The first 2 loci appear to lie between the latter 2 (Renwick, 1971). Information from cell hybridization studies placed the Rh-elliptocytosis-PGM(1)-6PGD linkage group on chromosome 1. Jacobs et al. (1970) reported data suggesting a loose linkage between a translocation breakpoint near the end of the long arm of chromosome 1 and Rh. Lamm et al. (1970) published family data consistent with loose linkage of Duffy and PGM1. Renwick (1971) suggested that PGM1 is on the side of Rh, remote from 6PGD and about 30 centimorgans from Rh. Cook et al. (1972) confirmed this interval. Although the Rh and Duffy loci are both on chromosome 1, they are too far apart to demonstrate linkage in family studies (Sanger et al., 1973). Marsh et al. (1974) found Rh-negative erythrocytes in an Rh-positive man suffering from myelofibrosis. Nucleated hemopoietic precursors were circulating in his blood, and these cells had an abnormal chromosome complement from which part of the short arm of chromosome 1 had been deleted. They concluded that the Rh locus probably lies on the distal segment of the short arm at some point between 1p32 and the end of the short arm. The conclusion is consistent with the finding of Douglas et al. (1973) that the PGM1 locus, which is linked to Rh, is on the short arm of chromosome 1. Since the patient of Marsh et al. (1974) did not have deletion of the PGM1 locus in the mutant clone, the Rh locus is probably distal to the PGM1 locus. Corney et al. (1977) observed only 1 recombination in 58 opportunities between the alpha-fucosidase locus (FUCA1; 612280) and the Rh locus. Rh antigen still eludes chemical definition (Tippett, 1978), but it is thought to be a lipoprotein. No completely certain example of recombination within a postulated gene complex has been described. Steinberg (1965) described a Hutterite family in which the father was CDe-cde, mother cde-cde, 4 children cde-cde, 3 children CDe-cde, and 1 child (the 6th born) Cde-cde. Steinberg (1965) thought this was an instance of crossing-over. Mutation and, much less likely, a recessive suppressor of the D antigen were mentioned as other possibilities. Race and Sanger (1975) considered a recessive suppressor likely. (Illegitimacy was excluded by the mores of the sect and by marker studies.) Rosenfield (1981) wrote: 'We still know nothing about Rh. Except for Steinberg's one crossover, there have been no exceptions to the inheritance of Rh antigens in tight haplotype packages. Hopefully, Rh antigen will be isolated for characterisation but there has been nothing published since the report of Plapp et al. (1979).' Steinberg et al. (1984) reexamined the Hutterite family, making use of other markers thought to be on 1p (6PGD, Colton, UMPK1) and concluded that crossover or mutation indeed had occurred. (Colton is probably not on chromosome 1p; UMPK1 was not informative in the critical parent (Lewis, 1989).) They concluded further that if, as seems likely from other evidence, C lies between D and E, their data indicate that the D gene (116800) is distal (telomeric) in the Rh complex. This order is consistent with the rare Rh haplotype D. Race et al. (1950, 1951) considered this haplotype to represent a probable or possible deletion in a human Rh chromosome. Race and Sanger (1975) listed 20 homozygotes for this haplotype. Originating from various populations, they were, in about 80% of the cases, the products of consanguine ... More on the omim web site
