Abstract

The cohort of BRaHUS was predominantly composed of female young adults, with renal involvement in all cases. Pediatric patients had lower hemoglobin and platelet levels and higher LDH levels than adults, and the most common genetic variants were identified in <i>CFH</i> and the <i>CFHR1-3</i> deletion with no preference of age, a peculiar pattern of Brazilian patients.
