The linkage relationships of transcobalamin II (TC2) against 64 other marker systems are studied in a Danish family material (families 604–1505). A strong indication of linkage between TC2 and the blood group system P was discovered (ž= 7.91 at θ=0.14 for males and θ=0.20 for females combined). Accordingly, TC2 could be assigned to chromosome 22 (since blood group P has earlier been assigned to this chromosome).
