Abstract: SUMMARY The Kell blood group locus (KEL) is tightly linked to the prolactin-inducible protein locus (PIP) with z=9.12 at o= 0.00 for combined paternal and maternal meioses. In view of the regional localization of PIP to 7q32-q36 (Myal et al. 1989a), a similar assignment for KEL is favoured.
