    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Complement deficiencies affect all nine components, impacting immunity and disease susceptibility. Defects in early or late complement pathways are linked to autoimmune diseases and severe infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • The complement system is crucial for innate and adaptive immunity.
    • Deficiencies in complement components can arise hereditarily.
    • These deficiencies have significant clinical implications.

    Purpose:

    • To review hereditary complement deficiencies.
    • To discuss their genetic basis.
    • To explore associated pathomechanisms and clinical manifestations.

    Summary:

    • Hereditary deficiencies of early complement components (C1, C4, C2) are associated with immune complex diseases like lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, and nephritis.
    • Deficiencies in C3 and C3b inactivator lead to severe, recurrent bacterial infections.
    • Defects in late components (C5-C9) increase susceptibility to Neisseria infections.

  • Hereditary angioneurotic edema is frequently linked to C1-inactivator deficiency.

    • Impact:

    • Understanding complement defects aids in diagnosing and managing autoimmune and infectious diseases.
    • Highlights the critical role of the complement system in host defense.
    • Provides insights into the genetic basis of immune dysregulation.
