    The complement C4 system exhibits significant genetic diversity in Norwegian adults. Six common haplotypes were identified, with inheritance patterns aligning with autosomal codominant principles.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Human Population Genetics

    Background:

    • The complement system plays a crucial role in innate and adaptive immunity.
    • Understanding the genetic polymorphism of complement components like C4 is vital for population genetics and disease association studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the genetic polymorphism of the complement C4 system in a Norwegian adult population.
    • To determine the frequency of C4 haplotypes and assess their inheritance patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • High voltage agarose gel electrophoresis was employed to analyze C4 allotypes.
    • Population data from unrelated Norwegian adults and family material (89 matings, 327 children) were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The complement C4 system was found to be highly polymorphic.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Six distinct C4 haplotypes occurred with a population frequency greater than 1%.
  • Observed genotype frequencies adhered to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and offspring distributions matched expected autosomal codominant inheritance.

    • Conclusions:

    • The C4 system demonstrates substantial genetic variability in the Norwegian population.
    • The observed inheritance patterns support a model of autosomal codominant inheritance for C4 haplotypes.
