Complement factor H-related 4

Scientific background:

Summary: This is one of 5 complement factor H-related genes that occur in tandem with CFH. All these genes though less transcribed share some structural domains and functional properties with complement factor H. Some mutations and polymorphisms have been associated with atypical HUS and age-related macula degeneration.

Methodology:

 

research
test
Method Genomic sequencing of the entire coding region
Turn-around time 25 working days
Effort 25 working days
Specimen DNA
Quality assessment Internal quality control only
  All known and new missense, nonsense and splice mutations can be detected.
