Fc -receptors (Fc R) provide a critical link between humoral and
cellular immunity. The genes of the low-affinity receptors for IgG and
their isoforms, namely, Fc RIIa, Fc RIIb, Fc RIIIa, Fc RIIIb,
and SH-Fc RIIIb, are located in close proximity on chromosome 1q22.
Variant alleles may differ in biologic activity and a number of studies
have reported the frequencies of variant Fc R alleles in both disease
and control populations. No large study has evaluated the possibility
of a nonrandom distribution of variant genotypes. We analyzed 395 normal individuals (172 African Americans [AA] and 223 Caucasians
[CA]) at the following loci: Fc RIIa, Fc RIIIa, and Fc RIIIb,
including the SH-Fc RIIIb. The genotypic distributions of Fc RIIa,
Fc RIIIa, and Fc RIIIb conform to the Hardy-Weinberg law in each
group. There was no strong evidence that combinations of 2-locus
genotypes of the 3 loci deviated from random distributions in these
healthy control populations. The distribution of SH-Fc RIIIb is
underrepresented in CA compared with AA (P < .0001) controls. A previously reported variant Fc RIIb was not detected in 70 normal individuals, indicating that this allele, if it exists, is very rare
(<1%). In conclusion, we present data that should serve as the
foundation for the interpretation of association studies involving multiple variant alleles of the low-affinity Fc R.
