Loss of DGKε induces endothelial cell activation and death independently of complement activation

Abstract excerpt

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is classically described to result from a dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway, leading to glomerular endothelial cell (EC) damage and thrombosis. However, recent findings in families with aHUS of mutations in the DGKE gene, which is not an integral component of the complement cascade, led us to consider other pathophysiologic mechanisms for this disease....
