title: Polymorphism of the third component of human complement.
abstract: Genetic polymorphism of the third component of human complement (C3) has been considered as a powerful marker for population genetics. Some studies on the distribution of gene frequencies have been performed among numerous populations all over the world. This review takes stock of population genetic studies reported up to now and points out some remarks on the distribution of the observed allelic frequencies.
