"Genetic Linkage" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME.
