title: The gene(s) controlling the synthesis of C1 esterase inhibitor is not linked to the genes of the HLA system and is not on the 6th chromosome.
abstract: Certain genes of the complement system are carried by the 6th chromosome and are sometimes linked to particular genes of the HLA system. This study shows that in 15 patients suffering from hereditary angioneurotic oedema the gene(s) controlling the synthesis of C1 esterase inhibitor is not linked to the genes HLA-A or B and is not on the 6th chromosome.
