    Notizen: Summary An increased chromosomal breakage rate (ICBR) was found in 27 of 28 patients with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SS)-5 with the syndrome including calcinosis cutis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophagus hypomotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasia (CREST), 4 incomplete CREST, 1 overlapping syndrome, 18 progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). Not only the patients, but also about half of their first-degree relatives showed an increased chromosomal breakage rate (more than 5 breaks per 100 metaphases). This character segregated as a dominant marker in nine families of scleroderma patients. In the six informative of the nine families, the ICBR trait showed close linkage with the HLA region on chromosome 6 (total lod score 5.5 at θ=0). In these families, ICBR was predominantly observed in linkage with HLA haplotype A1, Cw7, B8, C4AQ0B1, DR3 which is frequently observed in autoimmune diseases. The nature of the agent inducing chromosomal breakage in cultured lymphocytes of some, but not all family members of scleroderma patients remains to be clarified.

    Notizen: Abstract The antigenic determinants of human C4 have been defined by human IgG antisera, Rodgers (Rg) and Chido (Ch), in hemagglutination-inhibition assays (HAI). Eight (2 Rg and 6 Ch) are of high frequency, 〉 90% , and 1, WH, is of low frequency, 15 %. The phenotypic combinations are complex; generally, C4A expresses Rg, and C4B has Ch, but reverse antigenicities have been established both by HAI and by sequence data of selected C4 allotypes. A study of 325 families provides data on the antigenic expression of each C4 allotype and demonstrates strong associations. A structural model for the antigenic determinants of C4 proteins has been proposed and is completely supported by the family material. Of the 16 possible antigenic combinations for C4 proteins, only 3 are undetected. A new Ch combination has been recorded in two French families. The reported sequence variation within the C4d region can account for the antigenic determinants but leaves the location of electrophoretic variation in C4 still unclear.

    Notizen: Summary 88 families with a total of 213 children were examined for β2-glycoprotein I serum concentrations. In 74 families parents and children had normal concentrations. In 9 families one of the parents and approximately half of the children had intermediate concentrations. These individuals are presumably heterozygous for a deficiency gene BgD. In these families β2-glycoprotein I concentration appears to be controlled by a pair of alleles which are transmitted as autosomal co-dominants. The results in 5 families did not conform to this genetic hypothesis, since children with an intermediate concentration of β2-glycoprotein I were found whose both parents had a normal concentration of this protein. Non-genetic factors may be responsible for phenotypic variations in the different genetic types.

    Notizen: Abstract Using an exon-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct DNA sequence analysis we have analyzed the polymorphism of the α-chain of the eighth component of human complement (C8) at the DNA level. We found that two common alleles, C8A*A and C8A*B, are characterized by the substitution of a single amino acid (Gln to Lys), which is caused by a point mutation of a single nucleotide (C to A) in exon 3 at position 187 of the mature C8α cDNA sequence. Based on this mutation, an allele-specific PCR was designed detecting the two alleles of C8A. We applied this method to type the C8A polymorphism using DNA samples from a Chinese Han population. The comparison with the data of protein typing of the same samples proved that the described method is efficient and reliable for the identification of C8A genotypes and may be valuable for further application in population studies and forensic science.

    Notizen: Abstract Applying a combined technology for the detection of allotypec variation of the fourth component of human complement (C4), including immunofixation with anti-C4 and C4-dependent lysis after agarose electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of C4 to separate the C4A and B α-chains, and the determination of Rodgers (Rg) and Chido (Ch) determinants of C4 in serum and at the blotted C4 α-chains, we detected rare human C4 allotypes and studied the genetic linkage. Partial inhibitors (p. i.) of anti-Rg and anti-Ch sera were found; the C4A51 allotype characterized as Rg p. i. and the C4A1 and C4B51 allotypes as Ch p. i. were genetically inherited. The C4A1 allotype has a unique Rg- Ch+ C4A α-chain. Duplicated C4A loci, A *3, A *2, and A *5, A *2 were both associated with a C4BQO and the HLA haplotype A3-Cw4-Bw35-DR1. These additions to the already known extensive C4 polymorphism may help to sort out their significance for the biological functions of human C4.

    Notizen: Summary In this review article, recent evidence is presented that some diseases like insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, and idiopathic membranous nephropathy, which are primarily associated with HLA-D,DR, are also related to the rare C2, C4, and Factor B alleles. Circumstantial evidence is available that at least some of these rare variants may be functionally deficient. Based on the concept of functionally interacting gene clusters, mutant complement genes may lead to impaired effector mechanisms in virus neutralization or lysis of virus-infected cells. Other mechanisms such as alteration of vascular permeability may be involved in the development of proliferative retinopathy and familial hypertension. In lepromatous lepra, an impaired cell-mediated lysis of M. leprae may be related to the hemolytically inactive C4F1 allelic product.

    Notizen: Summary One hundred and ninety-six unrelated healthy individuals and 30 families with 75 offspring have been studied for the C81(α-γ) polymorphism. The following allele frequencies were calculated: C81*A=0.5536; C81*B=0.4286; C81*A1=0.0178. Observed and expected phenotype frequencies were in a good agreement according to the Hardy Weinberg law. No exceptions from the mode of inheritance were found. In family W the segregation of the rare allele C81*A1 could be followed. Comparing the results of this study with previous data from Boston and Oslo, a combined technology including C8-dependent lysis and C8 structural variation is suggested for future investigations.

    Notizen: Summary Chromosomal aberrations in untreated lymphocyte cultures, bleomycin (BLM)-induced aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 11 patients suffering from primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and 14 matched control individuals were analysed. The lymphocytes of the PBC patients had on average a lower mitotic index (2.3) compared with controls (3.5) in the untreated cultures. The mean baseline rate of aberrations of the cultured lymphocytes of the patients was 5.3 aberrations per 100 metaphases (%); this was significantly different (P=0.0291) from that of the controls with a mean of 2.3%. In lymphocytes of the patients and controls, most of the aberrations observed took the form of gaps; there was an almost equal breakage rate in both groups (0.5% and 0.4%, respectively). The average number of mitoses with aberrations in the PBC patients studied was double that of the controls (4.9% and 2.3% respectively, P=0.0323). The mean number of the BLM-induced aberrations was 54.0% and 27.7% for the lymphocytes of the patients and controls, respectively. The mean number of the aberrant mitoses in the BLM cultures was 6 times higher than that of the untreated cultures for both groups, 25.7% and 14.6% respectively (P=0.018). The chromosomal distribution of baseline and induced aberrations was not random. The PBC patients had a mean number of 8.7 SCE per mitosis, which was significantly higher than the SCEs in the controls (6.3 SCE per mitosis; P=0.0156). The evidence suggests that the chromosomes of the lymphocytes of PBC patients may be less stable than those of the control individuals in this study.

    Notizen: Abstract In addition to the earlier detected C81(A) rare variants A1, A2 (now A3) and B1 (now B2), six new rare variants (C81 A2 new, A4, A5, A6, M1 and B1new) are described within the polymorphism of the eighth component of human complement (α-γ chain subunit). Except for A3, all rare C81 A variants are only detected by isoelectric focusing, and not by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), in the α-γ subunit. In one individual out of approximately 700 individuals studied, a reversed position of the common allele (B vs A) was observed by SDS PAGE and the isofocusing technique. The segregation of A1, A3 and A4 could be followed in putative father/child combinations.

    Notizen: Abstract Complement component 3 (C3) is the central molecule of the complement system. It displays a number of polymorphic variants with, as yet, unclear functional consequences. We have investigated a number of rare C3 variants by PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism) analysis and could identify the molecular basis of a C3*S025 variant. The decreased electrophoretic mobility of this protein is caused by the exchange of a neutral serine residue to an arginine residue (positively charged). This exchange is unlikely to have functional consequences as it maps to the C-terminus of the α-chain. C3 variants appear to have originated from various independent mutations as we could not detect this mutation in different allotypes.
