Abstract
Allelism between the srn and Sd genes was indirectly excluded, based on recombination data from rhl+,+lsrn and fil+,+Isrn intercrosses. lntercross results also indi cated that the Sd and srn loci are not linked. The between-locus interaction between Sd and srn is cumulative, resulting in the Sd srn phenotype in Sdl+,+lsrn mice in which srn is penetrant.
