Abstract
A linkage between C2 deficiency and the HLA-A10,B18/BfS antigens has been found in a French family from the Strasbourg area. The propositus, suffering from a chronic glomerulonephritis, is homozygous forHLA-A10,B18/BfS and totally C2-deficient. The parents and the brother are heterozygous for C2 deficiency and share theHLA-A10,B18/BfS haplotype. MLC tests and HLA-D typing revealed that the homozygous C2-deficient patient is also homozygous at theHLA-D locus for the w2 specificity. Evidence was obtained for a heterogeneity of the HLA-Dw2 specificity. This observation confirms the remarkable association between C2 deficiency and theHLA-A10,B18,Dw2 haplotype.
