A very small number (~2 I am aware of) of mutations that activate C3 (i.e. reduce its regulation by complement alternative pathway regulators) have been linked to familial C3 glomerulopathy (one with DDD, one with C3GN). Loss of function variants might be associated with reduced circulating C3 levels but DO NOT CAUSE MPGN or C3 glomerulopathy.Created: 10 Jan 2020, 10:08 a.m. | Last Modified: 10 Jan 2020, 10:08 a.m.

Green review by Daniel Gale agrees with Green rating and gain of function mode of pathogenicity. Should change the Mode of Pathogenicity to make it clear that Loss of function variants are not associated with the disease phenotype.Created: 29 Jan 2020, 10:59 p.m. | Last Modified: 29 Jan 2020, 10:59 p.m.

Associated with C3 deficiency (#613779) and {Hemolytic uremic syndrome, atypical, susceptibility to, 5} (#612925) in OMIM.
PMID: 20852386 - Martínez-Barricarte et al 2010 - report a case a mother and her two identical twin sons with Dense deposit disease (DDD) caused by a heterozygous variant in the C3 gene. The mutation, c.2767_2774delACGGTG (C3923ΔDG) in exon 21, results in a mutated protein (C3923ΔDG) lacking 2 amino acids (Asp923 and Gly924) in the MG7 domain of C3. The deletion was only present in affected family members. Functional studies suggest a gain of function.
PMID: 26471127 - Chauvet et al 2016 - report functional characterization of a C3 mutation identified in two brothers with C3GN (C3 glomerulopathy). Both carry the same c.2327T>C heterozygous mutation in the C3 gene, leading to p.I756T. The mutation was not found in the 1000 genomes or EVS databases. In vitro the C3 mutation exhibited decreased binding to CR1, resulting in less CR1-dependent cleavage of C3b by factor 1.Created: 14 Aug 2019, 6:09 p.m. | Last Modified: 14 Aug 2019, 6:09 p.m.

This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Valerie Wilson, The National Renal Complement Therapeutics Centre, February 2019 on behalf of Yorkshire and North East GLH for the GMS Renal Specialist Test Group; Gene Symbol submitted: C3; Suggested initial gene rating: none provided;Created: 12 Feb 2019, 12:13 p.m.
Comment when marking as ready: Marked as red as the evidence of association with the isolated phenotype is limited.Created: 15 Dec 2017, 3:59 p.m.
Novel gene currently associated to atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS), but are thought to be also causative for MPGN. PMID: 18796626 study of patients with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome, not PMG. Because of the variable expressivity of some complement gene mutations, we have included the genes known to cause (and in routine clinical testing in) the mechanistically related, extremely rare disease atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (aHUS). There is now good evidence that mutations that are associated with aHUS can be found in patients with Primary MPGN/C3G (see Servais et al PMID: 22456601). Therefore known or clearly pathogenic mutations previously associated with aHUS would be presumed to be causative in patients with PMG where this is the clinical presentation.Created: 5 Jun 2017, 3:35 p.m.
