Summary

The distribution of C′3 phenotypes in leprosy, rheumatism, diabetes, hyperlipedemia and hepatitis were studied. There was a significant excess of FF-phenotypes in patients with rheumatic factor while in hepatitis the SS-phenotype was significantly lower and a relatively high frequency of FF was stated. The results are discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die Verteilung der C′3-Phänotypen bei Lepra-, Rheuma-, Diabetes-, Hyperlipidämie- und Hepatitispatienten untersucht. Hierbei wurde ein signifikanter überschuß an FF-Phänotypen bei Patientent mit Rheumafaktor festgestellt, während bei Hepatitis der SS-Phänotyp signifikant niedrig war und sich eine relativ hohe Frequenz von FF zeigte. Die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
