The studies of sera from two siblings with C1r deficiency are described. The brother (18 yr old) has shown clinical manifestations resembling lupus erythematosus for 5 yr, and the sister (24 yr old) has had arthralgia and recurrent episodes of rhinobronchitis since early childhood. Three siblings have died: one brother died at age 12 with symptoms similar to the disease of the male patient studied here, and two other siblings died in infancy, probably from infection. The low hemolytic C1 activity of the patients could be restored by the addition of purified C1r to their sera. Bactericidal activity and immune adherence were found to be impaired. When alternate pathways of the complement system were studied, both sera permitted activation of terminal components with endotoxin and cobra venom factor. These findings support the view that an alternate pathway for activation of the terminal portion of the complement cascade exists which does not utilize the conventional pathway operating through the usual early components.
