Abstract excerpt
Serum complement (C3, BF, C4) types were examined in Swedish Saamis (Lapps). In agreement with previous studies, a very low frequency of the C3*F allele (0.033) was found. Compared to Swedes and other Caucasian populations, Swedish Saamis showed a significantly increased frequency of the BFS, C4A4 and C4B2 variants, and a lower frequency of C4 deficiency. BFS, C4A4 and C4B2 show haplotype associations and thus...
