NCIt definition : Human CFH wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q32 and is approximately
96 kb in length. This allele, which encodes complement factor H protein, plays a role
in the regulation of complement-mediated immunity. Mutation of the gene is associated
with basal laminar drusen, complement factor H deficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome
atypical type 1, and age-related macular degeneration type 4.;
