"Some primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) express tow serum levels of antibodies. The constant heavy G chain (IGHG) genes, also representing Fc domains of gamma 3, gamma 1 and gamma 2 on chromosome 14q32.3, genotyped by the alternative IgG subclass allotypes, found in four fixed IGHG haplotypes, designating four B cell variants, were identified by a competitive ELISA and double immunodiffusion," scientists in Lund, Sweden report (see also Clinical Immunology).
