Locations of all known C6, C7 or C9 mutations leading to deficiencies (to June 2003) in relation to the modules (indicated in the box). Deletions (?), boundary mutations, generating nonsense intron sequence till a stop codon is reached (#), and amino acid substitutions (A111B) are indicated. In addition, mutations leading to subtotal deficiency are boxed.
