Genetic factors associated with anti-factor H autoantibodies in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS)
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by renal failure and determined by genetic and acquired defects of alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system. Autoantibodies against factor H (anti-FHs), a regulator of the AP, were reported in 10% of patients, and are associated with the deficiency of factor H related 1 (FHR1), a FH homologous protein. The...
