[[File:Protein_C2_PDB_2i6q.png|thumb|'''Complement C2''' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C2 gene.]]
'''In the Molecular Biology,''' the [https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/complement-component-c2 deficiency of Complement Component 2 i]s a disorder that causes a major effect in the immune system, resulting in a form of immunodeficiency. This effect results in an inability to protect the body against any foreign invader. Complement component 2 deficiency is also connected with an increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders, such as systemic vasculitis. Complement deficiencies is a challenge to understand due to insufficient clinical trails. Using a hemolytic-plaque assay, RNA extraction, and blot analysis, it is fair to note that complement component 2 deficiency is a result of pre-translational regulatory detect in C2 gene expression. This detects a lack of synthesis within the C2 protein. This deficiency can be further understood by incorporating plasma protein deficiencies, especially those in tissue macrophages. It is also important to note that Complement component 2 deficiency can be caused by genetic and environmental factors. In genetic inheritance, Autosomal recessive conditions are inherited with mutations in both copies of the gene where parents of autosomal recessive condition typically do not show symptoms.

The interprofessional team must be aware of the clinical features of patients with complement deficiency or immunodeficiency, and refer them to allergist/immunologists when necessary. Infection prevention and treatment of infections are key for complement deficiencies.<ref>https://primaryimmune.org/about-primary-immunodeficiencies/specific-disease-types/complement-deficiencies#:~:text=Treatment%20of%20Complement%20Deficiencies&text=Currently%2C%20there%20are%20no%20specific,of%20patients%20with%20these%20deficiencies.</ref>
