Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of the seventh component of complement (C7D) is frequently associated with recurrent neisserial infections. We report in the present study the genetic basis for C7D in a Spanish family. We used exon-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis as a screening step for mutations, followed by direct sequencing of the target exon. The mutation in the...
