The loci for the complement proteins BF and C2 and the two loci for C4 are closely linked to one another, as are the duplicated steroid 21 hydroxylase (21-OHase) genes to the C4A and C4B loci. The alleles of these four loci occur in specific combinations termed "complotypes". We have studied the gene frequencies of their different products in the Lebanese population and compared these values with those found in other populations. We observed a novel complotype (S B 4 6) in one family and a complotype with a so far undescribed variant of the C4A locus. Using several restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), we have defined restriction fragment linkage groups. The combined use of C4 and 21-OHase probes allowed us to detect different types of deletions and duplications at these loci in the Lebanese population.
