Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the two genes for complement C4A and C4B was studied in 56 Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 161 normal individuals. HindIII digestion revealed six common patterns, from which the segregation of three common RFLP-types were deduced; 32-15 kb, 32-25 kb, and 32-20-13-6.5 kb. The last type showed positive associations with C4B5 and HLA-DR4. In the RA patients, an increase of this type was found as well as a decrease of the 32-15 kb/32-25-15 kb heterozygotes.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
D015804 HLA-DR4 Antigen An HLA-DR antigen which is associated with HLA-DRB1 CHAINS encoded by DRB1*04 alleles. HLA-DR4,Antigen, HLA-DR4,HLA DR4 Antigen
