Properdin deficiency, X-linked(CFPD)

MedGen UID:
333322
Concept ID:
C1839454
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CFPD; COMPLEMENT FACTOR PROPERDIN DEFICIENCY; Properdin deficiency, type 1; PROPERDIN DEFICIENCY, TYPE I; Properdin P factor deficiency
Modes of inheritance:
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
375779
Concept ID:
C1845977
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.
 
Gene (location): CFP (Xp11.23)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010713

Orphanet: ORPHA2966

Definition

Properdin (factor P) is a plasma protein that is active in the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system. It is a positive regulatory factor that binds to many microbial surfaces to stabilize the C3b,Bb convertase. Deficiency of properdin is associated in particular with a heightened susceptibility to Neisseria species (Janeway et al., 2001). [from OMIM]
