This study identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the complement C6 and C7 genes within the Japanese population. These genetic variations are linked to specific complement allotypes, aiding in population genetics research.

Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Human Genetics

Background:

  • The complement system comprises proteins crucial for innate immunity.
  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in complement genes can influence immune response and disease susceptibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the complement sixth (C6) and seventh (C7) component genes.
  • To determine the association of identified SNPs with specific allotypes in the Japanese population.

Main Methods:

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods and direct sequencing were employed.
  • PCR-RFLP with HinfI was utilized to analyze a specific intron SNP in the C6 gene.

Main Results:

  • Several SNPs were identified in the C6 and C7 genes.

  • Specific SNPs (nt413A/C, nt1258C) were associated with C6A/C6B and C7-4 allotypes, respectively.
  • Allele frequencies for the C6 intron 2 SNP (G[357+32]A) were determined in the Japanese population (*G=0.920, *A=0.080).

    • Conclusions:

    • Identified SNPs provide valuable genetic markers for the Japanese population.
    • The findings contribute to understanding the genetic diversity of complement system components.
