Abstract：
:Complement C6 has a common charge polymorphism designated A and B with gene frequencies of 0.65 and 0.35. The probable molecular basis for this is a Glu (C6A) for Ala (C6B) substitution at amino acid position 98, and is detected by digestion with the restriction enzyme Dde I of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragment of genomic DNA. C6A was found to be Dde I-positive and C6B corresponds to Dde I-negative. We have applied our Dde I A/B polymorphism genotyping method to the investigation of C6-deficient individuals with complete (C6Q0) and sub-total deficiency (C6SD) protein phenotypes, including members of four families. We have also investigated the RFLP detected by digestion of genomic DNA with the enzyme Msp I, which is due to a polymorphic site located in the 5' section of the gene, the variable sequence of which has yet to be determined. Sixteen out of seventeen unrelated C6Q0 subjects were found to be genotypically Dde I B/Msp I-negative; the remaining subject was heterozygous at both the loci under investigation. The C6SD phenotype was found to be associated with the Dde I A/Msp I-positive genotype in two families with combined C6/C7 subtotal deficiency and two with C6SD. It can be concluded that the two forms of C6 deficiency, C6Q0 and C6SD, arose independently on two different C6 allelic backgrounds. These associations have allowed the genotyping of the rare families that contain both types of deficiency. We have also defined a number of normal C6 Dde I/Msp I haplotypes in Caucasians and Cape Coloured populations.
