Properdin factor B(Bf) polymorphism in the population of Veneto, Italy.

The distribution of Bf phenotypes in the population of Veneto was investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis and immunofixation. In our sample (n = 592), the seven common phenotypes F, S, F-S, S-S0.7, S-F1, F-S0.7, F-F1 were observed and the following gene frequencies calculated: Bf*S = 0.7399; Bf*F = 0.2280; Bf*F1 = 0.0177; Bf*S0.7 = 0.0144. These gene frequencies are compared to those found in other populations. Analysis of 21 mother-child pairs was in agreement with an autosomal codominant inheritance.

Properdin factor B polymorphism in continental Italy and Sardinia.

A sample of healthy unrelated individuals (882 from Continental Italy and Sicily, and 139 from Sardinia) were typed for HLA and Bf polymorphisms. Bf gene frequencies in Continental Italy and Sicily show an intermediate position among European populations, with Lapps on one side and Basques on the other side; while a very peculiar pattern is observed among Sardinians, with an impressive similarity with French Basques and with the highest F1 gene frequency so far observed. The HLA:Bf gametic associations in Italy and Sardinia are also reported, which confirm the different ethnic background of these populations.

Linkage disequilibria between HLA-B and the rarer properdin factor B alleles, BfF1 and BfS1.

Phenotypic association and highly significant linkage disequilibria have been demonstrated for HLA-B18 and BfF1 and HLA-Bw50 and BfS1 alleles among Caucasians from Australia and the United States (San Francisco Bay area). The HLA-B18, BfF1 association appears to be associated with HLA-Aw30. It is possible that BfS1 arose as a mutation, after the evolutionary splitting of HLA-Bw21, on an HLA-Bw50 haplotype, and that BfF1 arose on an HLA-Aw30, B18 haplotype.

HLA, complement C2, C4, properdin factor B and glyoxalase types in South Indian diabetics.

A series of diabetic patients from 3 centres in South India have been tested for HLA A, HLA B, BF, C2, C4A, C4B and GLO types. For insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients there was a significant increase in HLA B8, of BF F and decrease of C4 A6. No significant variation in HLA, BF, C2 or GLO frequencies was found in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients, but there was a significant decrease in C4B 1 and an increase in C4B 2. The HLA and BF association in South Indian IDDM patients is very different from that reported previously in North India.
