Abstract excerpt
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the deficiency of the inhibitor of the first component of complement system (C1-INH), which is due to mutations in its structural gene. There are two phenotypic variants: HAE type I, with reduced plasma antigen levels and HAE type II with normal antigen levels and reduced functional C1 inhibitor activity. The aim of this study was to...
