M Dantant, and C Rivat, and D Gilbert, and M Fontaine, and B Cavelier, and M Godin, and J P Fillastre

We report herein a new case of C2 deficiency in a patient with systemic lupus. The subject and one of her brothers, who shows no clinical manifestations, are hymozygous C2 deficient. All other family members are heterozygous for the C2 deficiency. Gene for C2 deficiency (C2d) was shown to be inherited with HLA-A9, B7/Bfs and HLA-A10, B27/Bfs haplotypes. This association has not previously been described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D011415 Complement Factor B A glycine-rich, heat-labile serum glycoprotein that contains a component of the C3 CONVERTASE ALTERNATE PATHWAY (C3bBb). Bb, a serine protease, is generated when factor B is cleaved by COMPLEMENT FACTOR D into Ba and Bb.

D003175 Complement C2 A component of the CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. C2 is cleaved by activated COMPLEMENT C1S into COMPLEMENT C2B and COMPLEMENT C2A. C2a, the COOH-terminal fragment containing a SERINE PROTEASE, combines with COMPLEMENT C4B to form C4b2a (CLASSICAL PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE) and subsequent C4b2a3b (CLASSICAL PATHWAY C5 CONVERTASE).
