INTRODUCTION: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is mainly due to complement regulatory gene abnormalities with a dominant pattern but incomplete penetrance. Thus, healthy carriers can be identified in any family of aHUS patients, but it is unpredictable if they will eventually develop aHUS.
