[Hereditary C2 deficiency with systemic lupus erythematosus: clinical and immunologic studies in a family (author's transl)]. 1977

J C Brouet, and W H Fridman, and J P Clauvel, and M Sasportes, and F Danon, and M Seligmann

A case of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with an homozygous deficiency in the second fraction of complement is reported and compared to previous reports of the literature. The high incidence of infections in these patients is outlined. The defective gene in this family was associated with the HLA A10B18 haplotype and the propositus was homozygous at the HLA-D locus. Familial study allowed the detection of 3 heterozygous individuals two of them being symptomatic (vascular purpura, high incidence of bacterial infections).

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.

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).
