Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 play key roles in the development of atopic asthma. The IL-13 receptor (R) α′ chain is a component of both IL-4R and IL-13R complexes. By screening the whole coding region of the IL-13Rα′ gene for polymorphisms, we identified a new polymorphism at nucleotide position 1050 from the ATG start codon. The allelic frequency of the C/T polymorphism in the Japanese population was found to be 0.97:0.03. Because of the low frequency of the T allele, the association study failed to indicate any significant association between this polymorphism and atopic asthma in the Japanese population. Further studies are required in other racial groups with higher frequencies of this polymorphism to elucidate the association.

The aim of the present study was to compare the frequencies of the F allele of C3 complement component and the Leiden mutation of coagulation factor V in patients with severe coronary heart disease (CHD) who survived myocardial infarction (MI; group A), and those who had no MI in their case history (group B). We have determined the C3 allele frequencies by electrophoresis, and Leiden mutation by PCR in 338 patients with severe CHD and in 490 and 523 healthy controls, respectively. The C3*F allele frequency was significantly (p = 0.006) higher in group A (0.213) that in group B (0.132). A significant (p = 0.045) difference was found between ≤60-year group A (0.077) and group B (0.029) patients in the frequency of Leiden mutation. These findings indicate that the C3*F allele and the Leiden mutation may be associated with an increased risk of developing myocardial infarction in CHD patients.

The fourth component of complement (C4) is coded for by two tandem-duplicated genes located in the class III region of the MHC of humans as well as a number of primates. A C4 gene size polymorphism giving rise to two gene variants of 16 and 22.3 kb length can be attributed to a complete endogenous retroviral insertion of 6.3 kb termed ERV-K(C4) in intron 9 of the long C4 genes. We developed a simple PCR-based screening assay to detect the presence of this insertion, and tested a number of unrelated animals from old world primate species. The presence of the ERV insertion in the orangutan, rhesus macaque and green monkey as well as its absence in gorillas and chimpanzees could be confirmed. In addition, the insertion was also detected in the baboon and the cynomolgus macaque whereas it was not found in a single gibbon. Among rhesus and cynomolgus macaques one individual was identified in each species only carrying short C4 genes demonstrating further structural heterogeneity in these species. Based on these findings we propose that the primigenial retroviral integration occurred prior to the radiation of old world primate species, and that both the long and the short forms of the C4 gene have existed side by side since then.

&lt;i&gt;Objective: &lt;/i&gt;To determine whether the immunoglobulin heavy chain genes contribute to the occurrence of bullous pemphigoid (BP), polymorphisms of both the immunoglobulin constant IGHC and variable IGHV groups were studied in 100 Caucasian BP patients and 143 ethnically matched healthy individuals. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt; To analyze the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the IGHG constant locus, a genomic immunoglobulin gamma 3 probe which detects polymorphisms in the gamma constant genes was hybridized to &lt;i&gt;Bst&lt;/i&gt;EII- or &lt;i&gt;Bam&lt;/i&gt;HI/&lt;i&gt;Sac&lt;/i&gt;I-digested germline DNA, while IGHV3 subgroup polymorphism was analyzed by hybridizing a cloned VH3 probe to &lt;i&gt;Eco&lt;/i&gt;RI-digested DNA. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt; No difference in the frequencies of the genotypes defined by the constant probe was observed between patients and controls. Analysis of the RFLP obtained with the VH3 probe showed that within the range of 4.5 and 1.5 kb, the observed band pattern was composed of 8 monomorphic and 7 polymorphic bands. Among the latter, 4 allowed to define 10 different restriction patterns. One pattern was shown to be significantly less frequent in patients than in controls. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/i&gt;IGHV3 polymorphism might be a factor conferring susceptibility to BP.
