Which Diseases Might Be Associated With My C3 Mutation?
Since learning I had this mutation (rs147859257) in Complement Component 3 (C3), many people in my family have tested their DNA to determine whether they share it as well. From analyzing which diseases and conditions people with the mutation have or had and excluding diseases also present in those who do not have the mutation, we’ve been able to postulate some disease associations. These associations are purely hypothetical at this point and mostly include diseases that could occur due to excessive inflammation. If you or others in your family have the C3 mutation, I would be interested in knowing if any of these diseases or others commonly occur in those with the mutation in your family. I am also considering organizing a study (though I still need to figure out the logistics). Please contact me if you’re interested in a study or just want to add to the information below.
