pubmed:abstractText |
Population genetic data are presented which should contribute to evaluation of the hypothesis that the extraordinary evolutionary patterns observed at the b locus of the rabbit immunoglobulin light chain constant region can be the outcome of overdominance-type selection. The analysis of allele correlations in natural populations revealed an excess of heterozygotes of about 10% at the b locus while heterozygote excess was not observed at loci determining the immunoglobulin heavy chain. Data from the published literature, where homozygote advantage was suggested, were reevaluated and found in agreement with data here presented. Gene diversity was evenly distributed among populations and showed similarities with patterns reported for histocompatibility loci. Analysis of genotypic disequilibria revealed strong digenic associations between the leading alleles of heavy and light chain constant region loci in conjunction with trigenic disequilibria corresponding to a preferential association of b locus heterozygosity with the predominant allele of the heavy chain e locus. It is argued that this may indicate compensatory or nonadditive aspects of a putative heterozygosity enhancing mechanism, implying that effects at the light chain might be more pronounced in populations fixed for the heavy chain polymorphism.
