Popis: We report a female with infantile onset of systemic lupus erythematosus secondary to C1q deficiency, in whom we identified a novel homozygous mutation in C1qB. The patient developed a progressive encephalopathy associated with spasticity, and suffered several arterial ischaemic strokes. Cerebral imaging demonstrated acquired intracranial calcification and a cerebral vasculopathy reminiscent of moyamoya. This case demonstrates overlap with some features of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome which, like C1q deficiency, is a monogenic cause of inflammation involving dysregulation of the innate immune system and stimulation of a type I interferon response.
