A hybrid CFHR3-1 gene causes familial C3 glomerulopathy.
Controlled activation of the complement system, a key component of innate immunity, enables destruction of pathogens with minimal damage to host tissue. Complement factor H (CFH), which inhibits complement activation, and five CFH-related proteins (CFHR1-5) compose a family of structurally related molecules. Combined deletion of CFHR3 and CFHR1 is common and confers a protective effect in IgA n...
متن کاملKidney transplant outcomes in familial C3 glomerulopathy
C3 glomerulopathy, a newly designated entity, is characterized by glomerular disease associated with dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway and is a rare cause of end-stage kidney disease. Overall disease characteristics that include clinical presentation, laboratory assessment, histopathology and genetic background have only been unravelled in recent years and have led to the deve...
متن کاملC3 glomerulopathy
C3 glomerulopathy is a recently defined entity that encompasses a group of kidney diseases caused by abnormal control of complement activation with deposition of complement component C3 in glomeruli leading to variable glomerular inflammation. Before the recognition of the unique pathogenesis of these cases, they were variably classified according to their morphological features. C3 glomerulopa...
متن کاملگزارش یک مورد C3 Glomerulopathy
Complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) defines a group of newly classified disorders that is due to C3 deposition in glomeruli. Very few outbreaks of this disease have been reported in the world. In this study, a 56 year old woman is reported who had complaints of weakness, abdominal pain, and skin petechiae and purpura. Laboratory tests revealed mild anemia and high serum creatinine level...
متن کاملC3 glomerulopathy: consensus report
C3 glomerulopathy is a recently introduced pathological entity whose original definition was glomerular pathology characterized by C3 accumulation with absent or scanty immunoglobulin deposition. In August 2012, an invited group of experts (comprising the authors of this document) in renal pathology, nephrology, complement biology, and complement therapeutics met to discuss C3 glomerulopathy in...
