Abstract excerpt
Previous studies suggest a potential association between human immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Ig allotypic determinants seem to confer an increased risk for the disease in various ethnic patient populations. In this study we have examined the pattern of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of constant region lambda (C lambda) light chain genes in a...
