摘要
En 中文
Complement deficiencies have been considered to be rare for many decades, but this assumption is changing year by year. Recognition of these conditions significantly increases thanks to the availability of different testing approaches and due to clinical awareness. Furthermore, sequencing technologies (including Sanger sequencing, targeted gene panels, and whole exome/ genome sequencing) may facilitate the identification of the underlying disease-causing genetic background. On the other hand, functional characterization of the identified possibly pathogenic variations and performing family studies, as illustrated by some of our cases, remain similarly important to establish a precise clinical diagnosis facilitating the most appropriate management. Here, we present 4 illustrative cases with complement deficiencies of diverse etiologies and also provide an educative, step-by-step description on how to identify the underlying cause of complement deficiency based on the results of complement laboratory testing.
