Abstract
Complement factor H (CFH) is a regulator of the alternative complement activation pathway. Mutations in the CFH gene are associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II and C3 glomerulonephritis. Here, we report a 6-month-old CFH-deficient child presenting with endocapillary glomerulonephritis rather than membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) or C3 glomerulonephritis. Sequence analyses showed homozygosity for a novel CFH missense mutation (Pro139Ser) associated with severely decreased CFH plasma concentration (
