The human IG heavy chain constant gene locus is enriched for large structural variants and coding polymorphisms that vary among human populations
2025-02-12
Abstract excerpt
The human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant (IGHC) domain of antibodies (Ab) is responsible for effector functions critical to immunity. This domain is encoded by genes in the IGHC locus, where descriptions of genomic diversity remain incomplete. We utilized long-read sequencing to build an IGHC haplotype/variant catalog from 105 individuals of diverse ancestry. We discovered uncharacterized single nucleotide va...
