Abstract excerpt
Isoelectric focusing has revealed that human complement factor I (CFI) is controlled by two polymorphic alleles, CFI(*)A and CFI(*)B, and a few rare variant alleles. In this study the molecular basis of the CFI polymorphism was investigated in 174 Japanese. The CFI(*)A was divided into two suballeles, CFI(*)As (R201S) and CFI(*)Ah (R406H). CFI(*)Aj, a rare variant allele originating from CFI(*)Ah, had an...
