C7 deficiency and meningococcal infection susceptibility in two spanish families.

Abstract excerpt

In this work, we report the genetic basis of C7 deficiency in two different Spanish families. In family 1, by using exon-specific polymerase chain reaction and sequencing, a recently described mutation was found in homozygosity in the patient; a single base change in exon 15 (C2107T) leading to a stop codon that causes truncation of the C-terminal portion of C7 (Q681X). Patient's father, mother and sister were...
