A Novel Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome–Associated Hybrid CFHR1/CFH Gene Encoding a Fusion Protein That Antagonizes Factor H–Dependent Complement Regulation
6 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Genomic aberrations affecting the genes encoding factor H (FH) and the five FH-related proteins (FHRs) have been described in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a rare condition characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and ARF. These genomic rearrangements occur through nonallelic homologous recombinations caused by the presence of repeated homologous sequences...
