Is C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C) pathogenic?

C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C) is classified Likely pathogenic in C3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2026-09-17). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0938); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

What condition is associated with C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C)?

C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C) is associated with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C) in the general population?

C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about C3 p.Ser179Pro (c.535T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0938) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
