Abstract
The C3 phenotype distribution was studied in 4 different populations from Afghanistan. The gene frequencies of C3s allele were: Tajiks (0.8547), Pushtoons (0.8812), Hazaras (0.9036) and Osbeks (0.8530). These values were significantly higher than in European populations studied previously. No significant differences were found between the mean serum levels of C3, C4 and C3-proactivator among 4 population groups. A higher concentration of IgG, IgA and IgM was observed in Afghanistan sera than reported for Europeans.Keywords
