- Recurrent Pyogenic Infections Caused by a Movel Gln1420* Mutation in the C3 GenePublication . Coelho, PS; Gouveia, C; Pinto, MV; Neves, C; Cordeiro, AI; Neves, JFC3 is a crucial protein of the complement system. Congenital C3 deficiency is extremely rare and manifests through recurrent, severe infections and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis of recurrent pyogenic infections.
