Immunoglobulin allotypes and RFLPs in disease association.
Immunoglobulin heavy chain (Gm) and light chain (Km) allotypes have been extensively studied as possible markers of susceptibility to a range of immune-related diseases including malignancies, infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. This review is concentrated on susceptibility to multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
