Abstract
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the two genes for complement C4A and C4B was studied in 56 Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 161 normal individuals. Hindlll digestion revealed six common patterns, from which the segregation of three common RFLP‐types were deduced; 32‐15 kb, 32‐25‐15 kb, and 32‐20‐13‐6.5 kb. The last type showed positive associations with C4B5 and HLA‐DR4. In the RA patients, an increase of this type was found as well as a decrease of the 32‐15 kb/32‐25‐15 kb heterozygotes.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
