Genetic determinants of complement activation in the general population by Damia Noce, Luisa Foco, Dorothea Orth-Höller, Eva König, Giulia Barbieri, Maik Pietzner, Dariush Ghasemi-Semeskandeh, Stefan Coassin, Christian Fuchsberger, Martin Gögele, Fabiola Del Greco M., Alessandro De Grandi, Monika Summerer, Eleanor Wheeler, Claudia Langenberg, Cornelia Lass-Flörl, Peter Paul Pramstaller, Florian Kronenberg, Reinhard Würzner, Cristian Pattaro

“…To illuminate the complement’s genetic underpinnings, we conduct genome-wide association studies of the functional activity of the classical (CP), lectin (LP), and alternative (AP) complement pathways in the Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol study (n = 4,990). We identify seven loci, encompassing 13 independent, pathway-specific variants located in or near complement genes (CFHR4, C7, C2, MBL2) and non-complement genes (PDE3A, TNXB, ABO), explaining up to 74% of complement pathways’ genetic heritability and implicating long-range haplotypes associated with LP at MBL2. …”
