Genetic analysis of C4 deficiency.
The inherited structural polymorphism in the fourth component of complement was studied in the family of a child with homozygous deficiency of this protein. It was shown that a number of family members, including the child's parents, carried a C4 haplotype, C4A*QO C4B*QO, that produced no detectable protein at either the Chido (C4B) or Rodgers (C4A) locus. The family contained individuals with ...
متن کاملC4 concentrations and C4 deficiency alleles in systemic lupus erythematosus.
In a study of 66 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 80 controls it was found that the presence of two deficiency (null) alleles of C4 had a significant effect on mean C4 concentrations in serum. In six controls who each had two C4 null alleles the mean C4 concentration in serum was 56% lower than in 43 controls without C4 null alleles; the nadir of the C4 concentration in four...
متن کاملC3 and C4 Complement Levels in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...
متن کاملHLA class I-, complement C4- and 21-hydroxylase probes in the genetic analysis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
In order to develop an optimal strategy for the prenatal diagnosis of steroid 21-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.99.10) deficiency, we investigated 16 affected families with salt wasting syndrome. Genomic DNA derived from peripheral white blood cells was digested with 6 different restriction enzymes. Hybridisation was carried out with DNA-probes of the HLA class I region, the 21-hydroxylase- and the compl...
متن کاملDevelopmental Genetic Mechanisms of C4 Syndrome Based on Transcriptome Analysis of C3 Cotyledons and C4 Assimilating Shoots in Haloxylon ammodendron
It is believed that transferring the C4 engine into C3 crops will greatly increase the yields of major C3 crops. Many efforts have been made since the 1960s, but relatively little success has been achieved because C4plant traits, referred to collectively as C4 syndrome, are very complex, and little is known about the genetic mechanisms involved. Unfortunately, there exists no ideal genetic mode...
