We recently described a case of hereditary complement C3 deficiency (C3D) in a New Zealand male who has a small amount of serum C3 (7 micrograms/ml), a normal size 5.2-kilobase C3 mRNA that is present in normal quantities, and a normal size M(r) 180,000 proC3 molecule that is synthesized in normal amounts. Secretion of C3 from this patient's cells was greatly diminished, however, and an aberrant C3 trypsin...
