The genomic nucleotide sequences of the constant-region (C) genes of the human T-cell rearranging gene .gamma. are given. These sequences show considerable allelic and nonallelic variation. Allelic variants exist at both C.gamma.1 and C.gamma.2 loci in coding regions (as well as in restriction enzyme sites). Both C.gamma. genes are in the same transcriptional orientation. Moreover, the organization of the nonallelic C.gamma. genes reveals some interesting features: the C.gamma.1 gene, like the mouse C.gamma. gene, has three exons, whereas the C.gamma.2 gene had four exons, including a duplicated second exon that would create a putative protein with an enlarged constant region. However, these two duplicated exons in C.gamma.2 have lost the cysteine residue that is thought to be involved in the interchain disulfide bridge.
