| Research Abstract |
The clinical diagnostic method to detect gene disorders using Southern hybridization technique was tried to apply to allergic disease. The following results were obtained.
(1) The polymorphisms in healthy human population were observed in the region from D to C of immmunoglobuline heavy chain genes. Using DNA fragments each of which encodes <C_(epsilon)> , <S_(epsilon)> , D regions as probes, DNAs of peripheral lymphocytes from 96 donors and placentas from 11 individuals were analysed. Bam HI site at 5' of <C_(epsilon 1)> ,Hind II and/or Sac I sites at 5' of <C_(epsilon 2)> , and deletion extended 10 kb which containning Dl encoding sequence were showed polymorphisms. The gene frequencies of the variable sites at <S_(epsilon)> , <C_(epsilon 2)> , and D region were 0.3, 0.3,and 0.5 respectively.
(2) DNAs from 27 allergic patients showed no detectable insertion or deletion in the regions of <S_(epsilon)> or <C_(epsilon)> . The gene frequencies of the polymorphic DNA fragments showed no significant difference from healthy human population.
