Familial predisposition to IgA deficiency (IgAD) suggests that genetic factors influence susceptibility. Most studies support a polygenic inheritance with a susceptibility locus (designated IGAD1) in the MHC, but its exact location is still controversial. This study aimed to map the predisposing IGAD1 locus (or loci) within the MHC by investigating the pattern of association of the disease with several markers in...
