Complement C9 deficiency

Complement component 9 deficiency is caused by mutations of the C9 gene. If both alleles are altered C9 is undetectable in plasma. No liability to any specific disease is observed in such a condition. The clinical manifestations seem to be tempered in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria with complement component 9 deficiency.

Epidemiology

C9 deficiency has a frequency of about 2/1000 in Japan.[Error: Macro 'ref' doesn't exist]
