" /> Complement component 3 deficiency, autosomal recessive - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Complement component 3 deficiency, autosomal recessive;

Symbol : C3D;

CISMeF acronym : C3D;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : C3 deficiency, autosomal recessive;

Description : The main clinical manifestation of primary C3 deficiency is childhood-onset of recurrent bacterial infections, mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Neisseria meningitidis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, and Escherichia coli; infections with gram-positive bacteria also occur. Infections in the upper and lower respiratory tract, including pneumonia, episodes of sinusitis, tonsillitis, and otitis, are the most frequent consequence of the C3 deficiency. Approximately 26% of patients with C3 deficiency develop immune complex-mediated autoimmune diseases resembling systemic lupus erythematosus (see 152700), and about 26% of patients develop mesangiocapillary or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, resulting in renal failure (summary by Reis et al., 2006).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the complement component 3 gene (C3, 120700.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased C3 activity; Decreased C3 antigen;

Prefixed ID : #613779;
