Complement Mutations in Diacylglycerol Kinase-ε–Associated Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Abstract: Background and objectives Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is characterized by vascular endothelial damage caused by complement dysregulation. Consistently, complement inhibition therapies are highly effective in most patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Recently, it was shown that a significant percentage of patients with early-onset atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome carry mutations in diacylglycerol kinase-«, an intracellular protein with no obvious role in complement. These data support an a… Show more

“…31 Because we have no similar models for the calculation of the overall risk for aHUS, we have considered in this estimation the presence of mutations in additional aHUS candidate genes and the genotypes for the CFH-H3 and MCPggaac aHUS risk haplotypes. 32 We therefore gave 1 point for each additional mutation or risk polymorphism, and the sum of the codes was used as a continuous variable. In contrast with the overall AMD risk (P values), which range from 0% to 100%, the overall risks for aHUS are increasing numerals (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).…”

“…The penetrance of these mutations is low, and a trigger is required for the development of the disease (Noris et al 2010). Besides complement proteins, mutations in thrombomodulin and in diacylglycerol kinase ε have been described in a small cohort of aHUS patients (Delvaeye et al 2009;Lemaire et al 2013;Rodriguez de Cordoba et al 2014;Sanchez Chinchilla et al 2014). Mutations in the factor H gene (CFH) are the most prevalent genetic alterations representing ~25% of cases ).…”

“…A DGKE-funkciózavar nem érinti a komplementrendszer működését, ugyanakkor az endothelsejtek protrombotikus változását okozza. 2014-ben közölték, hogy egyes betegekben együtt van jelen a komplement alternatív út szabályozási zavara és a DGKE-mutáció, és a komplement-rendellenesség nagyban meghatározza a HUS megjelenésének idejét és sú-lyosságát [81]. Indokolt ezért minden korai kezdetű HUS esetén a genetikai vizsgálatokat a DGKE irányában is kiterjeszteni.…”
