1 Feb 1990
Abstract excerpt
Frequent alterations in the structure of the complement component C1 inhibitor gene have been found in patients affected by the common variant of hereditary angioedema, characterized by low plasma levels of C1 inhibitor. This control protein limits the enzymic activity of the first component of complement and of other plasma serine proteases. Sequence comparisons of a 4.6-kilobase-long segment of the normal gene...
