Background of Complement Genetic Test

In addition to the serological test, genetic test is also important for determining the risk of disease. Genetic defects in complement proteins reportedly contribute to many diseases, such as the atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, age-related macular degeneration and so on. These diseases have been shown to be associated with uncontrolled activation of the complement pathway. Genetic mutations play a role in such activation, and more than half of patients have causative mutations in complement genes. The common mutation includes loss-of-function mutations in regulators (complement factor H (CFH), complement factor I (CFI), membrane cofactor protein (MCP) and thrombomodulin (THBD)) and gain-of-function mutations in key complement components (C2, C3, C4) and complement factor B (CFB).

The Complement Genetic Test

Comprehensive testing of genetic variants in the complement system is available and helpful for many conditions. Recently, complement genetic testing methodologies for complement genes have advanced to high throughput methods, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS). Nonetheless, in some cases, Sanger sequencing remains the gold standard for complement gene analysis. Even with the use of NGS, Sanger sequencing is required for several complement genes, including CFH and its related proteins-CFHR1-5 due to the presence of highly homologous regions, which can result in false-positive and false-negative variant calls. In addition, copy number analysis is also essential for complement gene analysis and can be performed by NGS or using specialized algorithms or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification techniques.

Questions & Answer

A: Complement genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that examines genes related to the complement system, which is a part of the immune system that helps to identify and eliminate foreign substances in the body. This testing can help identify genetic variants that may be associated with complement-related diseases, such as complement-mediated glomerulonephritis.

A: Complement genetic testing typically involves collecting a blood or tissue sample from the patient and analyzing it in a laboratory. The sample is tested for specific genetic variants related to the complement system, and the results are reported back to the provider.

A: Complement genetic testing can help diagnose complement-related diseases earlier, which may lead to earlier interventions and better outcomes. It can also help identify individuals who may be at increased risk for complement-related diseases, allowing for preventative measures to be taken.

A: Our complement genetic test service offers a wide range of genetic tests tailored for scientific experiments. These tests encompass various aspects of genetic analysis, including genotyping, sequencing, gene expression profiling, and functional assays. Whether you're investigating gene mutations, exploring gene expression patterns, or studying genetic variations, our service provides comprehensive solutions to meet your experimental needs.

A: Cost for our service varies based on numerous factors, including the complexity of the tests, the number of genes analyzed, and any additional services required. We recommend contacting our customer service team to get a personalized quote and more detailed information tailored to your specific needs.
