Abstract excerpt
The immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma (IGHG) gene cluster encoding immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses is highly polymorphic, resulting in amino acid variation along the antibody constant heavy chain referred to as allotypes. IGHG1 and IGHG3 are the two most polymorphic IgG subclasses in humans, with 4 classical IgG1 allotypes and 13 allotypes described for IgG3, though recent studies suggest greater allelic...
