Résumé

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a clinicopathological entity secondary to the dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway in plasma and the glomerular microenvironment, and two different entities can be distinguished: C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and dense deposit disease (DDD). The alternative complement dysregulation may be due to genetic abnormalities in complement genes and/or antibodies against complement components.Previous studies showed a therapeutic benefit of corticosteroids plusmycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in this entity, although the genetic and molecular profile of these patients were not systematically analyzed...
