Deletions can be useful for mapping when the other allele is recessive that results in a viable but detectable phenotype. In this case, the deletion uncovers the recessive allele and allows for mapping of the gene. Deletions are not useful when the other allele is dominant or results in no detectable phenotype. An individual with both alleles deleted would not be viable.
