Summary The study of the distribution of IgG subclasses in a group of Iraqi Arabs has revealed marked elevation in the levels of IgG3 associated with low levels of IgG1. Furthermore, individuals homozygous for the G3m(b) marker were found to have significantly higher levels of IgG3 than individuals heterozygous for this marker. Results are discussed in relation to other similar reports.
