Abstract:
69 patients with systemic lupus erythema (SLE) at the Central Institute of Dermatology and Venerology were studied on. The control group included 57 healthy blood donors. The investigation on the existance of 2bp compression phenomenon on exon 29 using PCR technique showed that: C4A deficiency caused by 2bp compression on exon 29 was not detected on these patients of SLE and in control subjects also. There was no relation between the deficiency of the gene encoding C4A caused by 2bp compression on exon 29 and the development of SLE.
