Abstract
Two male sibs believed to be examples of meiotic recombinants between the closely linked loci for G6PD [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogense] deficiency of Mediterranean type and severe deutan color blindness were simple segregants of a triplo-X mother of genotype d-GdMediterranean/d+GdMediterranean/d+GdB. In Sardinia the linkage between the 2 loci under consideration may be tighter than previouy assumed.
