    Complete absence of the fourth component of complement (C4) is linked to a specific lupus erythematosus presentation. This includes sun/cold sensitivity, Raynaud

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Genetic deficiencies in complement component 4 (C4) are rare.
    • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with diverse clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A patient with a complete absence of C4 and SLE was studied.
    • This patient exhibited pronounced photosensitivity and cold sensitivity with Raynaud's phenomenon.
    • Characteristic skin lesions were observed on typical lupus locations, palms, and soles.

    Findings:

    • The C4-deficient gene in this family was associated with the HLA-hapotype AW30, B18, DR7; BfS1.
    • This case confirms a distinct clinical picture in individuals with C4 deficiency and SLE.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the genetic basis of certain autoimmune disease presentations.

  • Suggests a potential link between specific HLA haplotypes, C4 deficiency, and lupus erythematosus phenotypes.
  • Informs diagnostic approaches and understanding of lupus erythematosus pathogenesis.
