Immunoglobulin heavy chain haplotypes in caucasian New Zealanders.

Abstract

In the course of studies on the genetic basis of autoimmune disease, immunoglobulin allotypes were measured in New Zealand people of caucasian origin. We report the observed frequencies of the various allotypes of the gamma heavy chains, together with the frequencies of the combinations observed to occur in individuals (phenotypes) and the nature and frequency of the combinations on individual chromosomes (haplotypes), as calculated by application of Kurczynski and Steinberg's computer programme MAXIM.
