Complement C7 deficiency

Complement component C7 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the C7 gene which may results in various immonological condition such as impaired defense of meningococcal infections.

Epidemiology

C7 deficiency has a frequency of about 1/14000 in Japan.[Error: Macro 'ref' doesn't exist]
