Genetic Mapping of Ir Locus in Man: Linkage to Second Locus of HL-A

Fifty-seven members of a family that spanned three generations were studied for antigen E and ragweed skin sensitivity and HL-A antigens. There was significant association between the haplotype HL-A 2-12 and antigen E skin hypersensitivity (F = .22 to .26) in this family. The map order is first locus of HL-A, second locus of HL-A, and IrE. These determinants are considered to be part of the linkage group HL-1.
