Complement factor 2 deficiency: serological family study
Inherited complement deficiencies are associated with a variety of connective tissue diseases. A family with inherited deficiency of complement factor 2 (C2) is described in which two family members with homozygous C2 deficiency developed cutaneous vasculitis and siccasyndrome. The otherfamily members had heterozygous C2 deficiency and each member had the HLA-A25, B18, DR2 (w15) haplotype. The ...
متن کاملA family with complement factor D deficiency
The complement system consists of more than 20 plasma proteins and plays an important role in the defense against microorganisms (1). Activation of the classical or the alternative pathway results in the cleavage of C3, the central component of the system. In the alternative pathway, the spontaneous hydrolysis product iC3 (i.e., C3 with intact peptide chains but with a hydrolyzed thioester) com...
متن کاملA family with complement factor I deficiency.
A family with inherited factor I deficiency is described. The proband was a 19-year-old Caucasian female with one episode of meningococcal meningitis and one episode of suspected septicaemia of unknown cause. Two obligate and two probable heterozygotes with factor I levels below the lower limit of the reference range were identified. None of these exhibited increased susceptibility to infectiou...

متن کاملDeficient alternative complement pathway activation due to factor D deficiency by 2 novel mutations in the complement factor D gene in a family with meningococcal infections.
The complement system is an essential element in our innate defense against infections with Neisseria meningitidis. We describe 2 cases of meningococcal septic shock, 1 of them fatal, in 2 children of a Turkish family. In the surviving patient, alternative pathway activation was absent and factor D plasma concentrations were undetectable. Concentrations of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), C1q, C4 ...
