Context:
Inherited complement deficiencies predispose to autoimmune rheumatic diseases and angioedema as well to susceptibility to infections (Jerry Winkelstein, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD) [33]. Since there is linkage disequilibrium of complement genes with MHC genes, there can be coinheritance of genes for immunodeficiency and for autoimmune disease. Inheritance of C0 deficiencies is autosomal recessive, and usually heterozygous. The gene variants can involve any of the components of the classical pathway, C1q to C9.
Well, i don't see any reason to paraphrase it, but yes, between would work.
@Setanta,
Thank you Set.
And "for" = "that can cause"?

. . . which will provide genes for immunodeficientcy and autoimmune disease . . .
So, yeah, "that can cause" is acceptable, although i think it lacks the necessary certitude that those genes will be present.
@Setanta,
Grammatically speaking here.
Thanks.
