The red cell antigens Fra and Swa were first described in 1978 and 1959, respectively. Despite the fact that these antigens are well defined serologically, information regarding the gene(s) controlling antigenic expression was not known. The present study represents a continued effort to establish the chromosomal location of human blood group genes by family linkage studies.
