Abstract
Abstract. Close linkage between HL‐A and C2 deficiency was first reported by Fu and co‐workers in 1974. We present here a pedigree of a 31‐year‐old C2‐deficient individual with clinical manifestations of Hodgkins disease. The following markers were tested: C2 levels, factor B polymorphism, blood groups, and enzyme typing. In addition to close linkage between HL‐A and C2 deficiency, both parents were heterozygous for Bf (HL‐A linked, electrophoretic variation of B). The two HL‐A haplotypes closely linked to C2 deficiency are different: 2,W18 and W24,W18. They share, however, the SD2 antigen W18 and the LD type 7a.
