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