Figure 1 CNVs and size variations of complement C4 genes and RCCX modules in the human MHC. A, Map showing the gene organization of the MHC-complement gene cluster with a bimodular LL haplotype for RCCX. Horizontal arrows represent gene transcriptional orientations. The PmeI restriction sites flanking the RCCX modules in BF and TNXB are shown as dotted arrows. Vertical arrows with letters depict the locations and names of DNA probes employed for genomic Southern-blot analyses. B, Structures and configurations of RCCX length variants observed in the white study populations. The fragment sizes of TaqI restriction fragments for RP-C4, CYP21, and TNX are shown on the right.39–41 The American Journal of Human Genetics 2007 80, 1037-1054DOI: (10.1086/518257) Copyright © 2007 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Different genetic mechanisms leading to lower expression of C4A protein than of C4B protein in four families with SLE. In each family, the RCCX modular structures were determined by PFGE of PmeI-digested genomic DNA, Southern blotting, and hybridization to a C4d-specific probe (A). TaqI genomic RFLP was applied to yield details of genomic structures for the RCCX constituents, including the dichotomies of RP1 and RP2, C4 long and C4 short linked to RP1 or RP2, CYP21B, CYP21A, TNXB, and TNXA (B). PshAI-PvuII RFLP was applied to determine the relative GCNs of C4A and C4B (C). The C4A and C4B protein polymorphisms were elucidated by immunofixation of EDTA plasma resolved by high-voltage agarose-gel electrophoresis (D). P = patient; M = mother; F = father; S = sibling (S1 = sibling 1; S2 = sibling 2).

Figure 4 Distribution patterns of long and short C4 genes and RCCX haplotype structures among female patients with SLE (FP [red bars]), their female first-degree relatives (FF [yellow bars]), and unrelated female controls (FC [blue bars]). A, Gene CNV of long C4. B, Gene CNV of short C4. C, Haplotype variation of RCCX structures. T-Q = trimodular and quadrimodular.

Figure 5 Significant increase in the frequency of monomodular S RCCX haplotype with C4A deficiency linked to the −308A allele of the TNFA gene (S-TNF2) in SLE. A, Number and frequency (Freq.) of each haplotype in unrelated female controls (FC), female first-degree relatives (FF), and female patients with SLE (FP). B, Differences between the three groups. NonS-TNF2 = TNF2 allele not linked to monomodular S haplotype of RCCX; NonS-TNF1 = −308G allele of the TNFA gene not linked to monomodular S haplotype of RCCX.
