ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for determining whether a patient has a predisposition to develop severe forms of autoimmune disease. The method involves determining whether the Fc.gamma. receptor allelic pattern of the patient corresponds most closely to known Fc.gamma. receptor allelic patterns of patients having no autoimmune disease, mild autoimmune disease, or severe autoimmune disease. The invention also encompasses methods for determining if a patient has a predisposition to infection by certain encapsulated bacteria.
