complement component 9 deficiency — Definition
Kompleman bileşen 9 eksikliği / complement component 9 deficiency
The lack of complementary component 9 is a rare genetic disease, which occurs in the final absence of the completeman helmet of the immune system, resulting in insufficient production or dysfunction of C9 protein. This deficiency is characterized by increased sensitivity to encapsulated bacteria, especially like Neisseria meningitidis. Patients often have the risk of recurrent meningoccus infections, but the immunity against other infections is largely preserved. The diagnosis is corrected in serum with low or undetectable levels of C9 and genetic tests.
