title: C3 complement types in northern Greece.
abstract: The C3 complement types were studied in 463 patients with thyroid diseases and in 211 controls. There were no significant differences with respect to gene or phenotype frequencies between patient groups and controls. In the total sample, the gene frequencies are similar to those found in other European populations.
