Inherited factor I deficiency in a family revealed autosomal codominant inheritance. Molecular heterogeneity of factor H was observed in the proband, linked to complement system dysregulation.

Area of Science:

Immunology
Genetics
Hematology

Background:

Inherited factor I deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder.
Factor I is crucial for regulating the complement system, a part of innate immunity.

Observation:

A family presented with inherited factor I deficiency, including a proband with a history of meningococcal meningitis and suspected sepsis.
Autosomal codominant inheritance of factor I deficiency was identified.
Molecular heterogeneity of factor H was detected in the proband's plasma, but not in other family members.

Findings:

The proband exhibited factor I deficiency with potential complement dysregulation.
Factor H heterogeneity in the proband suggested a fluid-phase complex with C3b, indicating uncontrolled complement amplification.

Heterozygotes for factor I deficiency did not show increased susceptibility to infections.

Implications:

This study highlights the complex interplay between factor I deficiency, factor H heterogeneity, and complement system regulation.
Understanding these interactions is vital for diagnosing and managing rare bleeding disorders and associated immune dysfunctions.
Further research into factor H abnormalities in factor I deficiency may reveal new therapeutic targets.
