Abstract
The location of thereeler (rl) locus in mice in the paracentromeric part of chromosome (Chr) 5, proximal to theT(5;12)31H translocation breakpoint, has been confirmed. Analysis of DNA from animals with different doses of the proximal part of Chr 5 and from congenic mice showed that thePgy-1 locus is the closest marker torl, whereasEn-2 is located farther, distal to theT31H breakpoint. Together with recently published evidence (Martin et al. 1989), our data suggest the following order:Cen-rl/Pgy-1-T31H-En-2.
