Abstract excerpt
The Ig H chain C region is a multigene family often involved in genomic rearrangements leading to deleted and duplicated haplotypes, most probably through unequal crossing over between homologous regions within the locus. The frequency of these haplotypes in Italy is around 2.7% each. Using PFGE...
