Complement polymorphism in Colombia.
The polymorphism of complement component C3, BF and C4 was studied in an urban population of Bogota, Colombia and for C3 and BF, genetic heterogeneity was further examined among the five villages of the Colombian Andes. For both C3 and BF systems there is considerable variation of allele frequencies among the five villages and overall there is significant heterogeneity among the six population groups studied.
