<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Complement_Component_2_Deficiency">Complement Component 2 Deficiency</h2></div>
<p><b>In the Molecular Biology,</b> the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/complement-component-c2">deficiency of Complement Component 2 i</a> s a disorder that causes a major effect in the immune system, resulting in a form of immunodeficiency. This effect results in an inability to protect the body against any foreign invader. Complement component 2 deficiency is also connected with an increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders, such as systemic vasculitis. Complement deficiencies is a challenge to understand due to insufficient clinical trails. Using a hemolytic-plaque assay, RNA extraction, and blot analysis, it is fair to note that complement component 2 deficiency is a result of pre-translational regulatory detect in C2 gene expression.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This detects a lack of synthesis within the C2 protein. This deficiency can be further understood by incorporating plasma protein deficiencies, especially those in tissue macrophages. It is also important to note that Complement component 2 deficiency can be caused by genetic and environmental factors. In genetic inheritance, Autosomal recessive conditions are inherited with mutations in both copies of the gene where parents of autosomal recessive condition typically do not show symptoms.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development_of_SLE">Development of SLE</h2></div>
<p>Complement component 2 deficiency is associated with an increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders, with females more likely to have SLE. Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and tissue damage, affecting many parts of the body. Lupus can range from mild to severe and can cause inflammation in organs, such as joints, skin, kidneys, and brain. The severity of the disorder varies.
C2 is an important component of both the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation, and is essential for first line defense against <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://bmcimmunol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2172-11-43">microbial infection.</a> It binds to MBL or ficolins to form the C3 convertase C4b2a. In C2 deficiency, C3 is not efficiently cleaved, leading to limited deposition of C3 fragments on immune complexes and apoptotic cells, leading to chronic activation of the complement system.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Treatment_and_Management">Treatment and Management</h2></div>
<p><b>Complement deficiency</b> is managed on a case-by-case basis with antibiotics and regular visits with an immunologist. A form to treat complement component 2 deficiency includes replacing the missing component of the cascade, either through direct infusion of the protein or through gene therapy. Patients should be aware of symptoms of meningococcal infection and receive routine vaccinations. Patients should seek for accessible resources offered by the medical provider and take the necessary actions needed to treat for complement deficiency.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Patient_Education">Patient Education</h2></div>
<p>Patients and parents should be educated on the symptoms of serious illness and seek care immediately. Vaccination is an important preventive measure for the deficiency of complement component 2. Early diagnosis, antibiotic prophylaxis, and vaccinations can help prevent life-threatening infections in hereditary C2 deficiency.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Promoting_Health_Care_Outcomes">Promoting Health Care Outcomes</h2></div>
<p>The interprofessional team must be aware of the clinical features of patients with complement deficiency or immunodeficiency, and refer them to allergist/immunologists when necessary. Infection prevention and treatment of infections are key for complement deficiencies.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
Patient organizations build public awareness and support research to improve patients' lives. Patient organizations provide access to information, resources, and support.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Clinical_Significance">Clinical Significance</h2></div>
<p>Photosensitive patients with C2 type I deficiency have poor prognosis. C2 type I deficiency is caused by a 28-base pair gene deletion, resulting in premature termination codon and lack of C2 protein. Patients with LE associated with complement C4 or C2 deficiencies have a better prognosis than those without inherited deficiencies. Complement component 2 deficiency increases risk of autoimmune disorders which may be managed by receiving the adequate care. Clinically, this is significant since Complement component 2 deficiency increases the risk of recurrent bacterial infections, which may be life-threatening.
