Properdin factor B (Bf) phenotyping was carried out in 392 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in 360 controls. In RA there were increased frequencies of both the BfS gene (83 vs 78%; pc = 0.0003) and the BfSS genotype 73 vs 61%; pc = 0.0002) and reduced frequencies of the BfF1 gene (0.5 vs 2.2%; pc = 0.03) and the BfFS genotype (20 vs 29%; pc = 0.0007). The frequencies of BfS in DR4 positive and DR4 negative RA were similar so that the findings were not accounted for by linkage disequilibrium between DR4 and BfS.
对392例类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者和360名对照者进行了备解素因子B(Bf)表型分析。在类风湿性关节炎患者中,BfS基因(83%对78%;pc = 0.0003)和BfSS基因型(73%对61%;pc = 0.0002)的频率均升高,而BfF1基因(0.5%对2.2%;pc = 0.03)和BfFS基因型(20%对29%;pc = 0.oooo7)的频率降低。DR4阳性和DR4阴性类风湿性关节炎患者中BfS的频率相似,因此这些发现不能用DR4与BfS之间的连锁不平衡来解释。
