A novel human complement component C7 phenotype detected in South Africa and proposed designation of the allele as C7*10.
A novel allotype of the seventh component of human complement was detected by isoelectric focusing. The band pattern showed a complete band-interval shift towards the cathode compared with the C7 1 allotype and it is proposed that the designation is C7 10. The allele C7*10 segregated in two South African Cape Coloured families and had a gene frequency of 0.006. It was also found to segregate together with a C6*rare allele.
