Abstract excerpt

The distribution of complement component 4 (C4) gene copy number (GCN) has been validated in European populations. Meanwhile, C4 gene has been identified as a susceptibility gene for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the association and the possible phenotype significance remain to be determined intensely in the Chinese population. This study was designed to validate the distribution of C4 GCNs in...
