Allelic polymorphisms and RFLP in the human immunoglobulin lambda light chain locus.

The organization of the human immunoglobulin lambda light chain locus (IGL) was recently described. This locus has been entirely sequenced. To evaluate the extent of the genomic variability existing inside that locus, we compiled all the available sequences of germline IGLV genes to find variants of Vlambda sequences. We also looked for RFLP polymorphisms in a reputedly highly polymorphic human population from eastern Senegal, and compiled all RFLP data previously published. Analysis of these data indicates that IGLV alleles are frequent and increase the diversity of the lambda light chain repertoire in the human population. In contrast, RFLP and polymorphism by insertion and/or deletion are limited in that locus. This observation reinforces our hypothesis that the human IGL locus has undergone less evolutionary shuffling than the human kappa or heavy-chain loci.

The human immunoglobulin heavy variable genes.

'Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Variable Genes', the fourth report of the 'IMGT Locus on Focus' section, comprises five tables entitled: (1) 'Number of human germline IGHV genes at 14q32.33 and potential repertoire'; (2) 'Human germline IGHV genes at 14q32.33'; (3) 'Human IGHV orphons on chromosome 15 (15q11.2)'; (4) 'Human IGHV orphons on chromosome 16 (16p11.2)', and (5) 'Human IGHV allele table'. These tables are available at the IMGT Marie-Paule page from IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database (http://imgt.cnusc.fr:8104) created by Marie-Paule Lefranc, Université Montpellier II, CNRS, France.
