Abstract excerpt
Allotype frequencies of four complement proteins (C3, C2, factor B, and C4) were tested in 150 healthy Hungarian and 126 healthy Gipsy individuals living in Hungary. We observed significant differences between the two ethnic groups in the incidence of C3*F, Bf*F, C4A*Q0, C4A*3, C4B*1 and C4B*2 allotypes.
