Hereditary C2 deficiency associated with immune complex disease.

A J McPherson, I McKenzie, P A Castaldi

    The Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science
    |February 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Inherited C2 complement deficiency, an autosomal recessive trait, is linked to HLA genes. This unique case helps map complement component 2 (C2) gene location on chromosome 6.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Complement system biology

    Background:

    • Immune complex deposition syndromes can be linked to complement deficiencies.
    • The complement system plays a crucial role in immune regulation and pathogen clearance.

    Observation:

    • A patient with an immune complex syndrome was identified with a hereditary deficiency of the C2 complement component.
    • Family studies confirmed an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern for the C2 deficiency.

    Findings:

    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing revealed a close linkage between HLA and C2 genes.
    • The patient's chromosomes carried specific HLA-A and HLA-B alleles, with variations at the HLA-D locus, providing a unique haplotype.
    • Complement assays showed activation primarily through the alternate pathway.

    Implications:

    • This unique haplotype is valuable for mapping the C2 gene locus, suggesting a gene order of HLA-D, C2, HLA-B, HLA-A on chromosome 6.
    • C2 deficiency may impair the clearance of immune complexes, potentially leading to disease after viral or other infections.
