Abstract excerpt
DNA polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the human complement component C6, C7, and C9 genes were studied in three C7-deficient (C7D) families, one C6-deficient (C6D) family, and one C9-deficient (C9D) family. The 3 loci are closely linked on human chromosome 5. The haplotypes carrying the "silent" allele (C7*Q0, C6*Q0, and C9*Q0) were defined in each family, allowing for the detection of carriers among asymptomatic...
