Extract

1. Evidence is given of an association between the two loci governing inheritance of haemoglobin type and erythrocyte potassium concentration in Welsh Mountain sheep.

2. In the 1777 animals examined, there was an excess of high potassium types amongst carriers of the haemoglobin B gene.

3. At both high and low levels of potassium, sheep possessing haemoglobin A only had significantly more potassium in their blood than animals possessing haemoglobin B only. AB heterozygotes were intermediate in. value.
