Complement 3 deficiency is a genetic condition affecting complement component 3 (C3). People can suffer from either primary or secondary C3 deficiency. Primary C3 deficiency refers to an inherited autosomal-recessive disorder that involves mutations in the gene for C3.[1] Secondary C3 deficiency results from a lack of factor I or factor H, two proteins that are key for the regulation of C3.[2] Both primary and secondary C3 deficiency are characterized by low levels or absence of C3.[3]
