Özet

Mutations in complement factor H (CFH), factor I (CFI), factor B (CFB), thrombomodulin (THBD), C3 and membrane cofactor protein (MCP), and autoantibodies against factor H (alpha FH) with or without a homozygous deletion in CFH-related protein 1 and 3 (a dagger CFHR1/3) predispose development of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).
