Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by dysregulation of the complement system due to genetic mutations and polymorphisms in complement activators and regulators. In Japan, C3 is the gene most frequently implicated in aHUS, with approximately three-quarters of the mutations reported for C3 corresponding to p.Ile1157Thr (p.I1157T). Patients with the C3...
