Does the type of underlying genetic defect in aHUS impact transplant outcome

Does the type of underlying genetic defect in aHUS impact transplant outcome?

Yes. Patients with an MCP mutation have the best outcome, with low rates of aHUS recurrence (<20%) and long-term graft survival similar to patients who underwent transplantation for other etiologies.

Patients with CFH and CFI mutations have the worse outcome with transplantation; 70% to 90% have a recurrence.
