Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) plays a key role in the classical pathway of the complement cascade. Mutations in this gene cause a decreased level of antigenic (type I hereditary angioedema, HAE) or functional (type II HAE) C1INH. OBJECTIVE: To find novel mutations in C1INH and evaluate the expression of C1INH gene in HAE patients. METHODS: Direct sequencing mutation analysis was performed for genomic...
